In 4+ years of college, I never heard a lecture even remotely as meaningful and impactful as this one.

I am an older woman, 56, and feel so excited to have access to the ideas in Jordan's books and videos. My father used to bring us together around the dinner table when I was a young girl and posit interesting topics for discussion. Alexander Solzhenitsyn's ideas and books populated his library. Oft times I've been embarrassed by my love of ideas since people around me seemed annoyed and bored. What a wonderful place I've found for the exchange of important ideas. Thank you!

0:00 What is personality? A filter for perception. A varying degree of emotional sensitivity to the environment. Differences of temperament. How you differ from others. How you act/what your values are likely to be. How things are likely to illicit a negative reaction in/from you. 4:46 Political beliefs not necessarily developed through research and education. High trait openness and low trait conscientiousness tends towards leftism, liberalism. Lower openness, higher conscientiousness tends towards conservatism. These correlations increase with age. Hence, political beliefs are based on facts and ideas seen through the lens of one's personality traits - i.e., filter for perception. 7:16 Resources for students in the class. 8:04 Introduction to idea of personality transformations. Each person born with idiosyncratic tendencies in order for the species to be varied enough to cover myriad aspects of survival, production, social contribution. The difficulty of personality change. Beneficial for oneself and society for each person to discover and operate in fields suited to their particular traits; unfortunately, some fields generate more money than others. 11:19 Personality viewed as a balance between the stability which gives the sense of an individual 'I', vs. the plasticity which grants the person potential for change. Personality transformation is catalysed by suffering, which is the cost of encountering the unknown and assimilating the knowledge derived from the experience. Symbolically: crucifixion, death, rebirth. 13:03 The first half of the course will focus mainly on clinicians due to the fact that their work in trying to help people introduces the idea of the necessity of a framework of values: illness being labelled as 'bad' or 'worse', and health being labelled as 'good' or 'better'. 16:20 Self-authoring as a means of developing, visualising and conceptualising a potential best life to strive towards in terms of career, friendships, relationship, activities in spare time, education. At the same time, visualising a potential worst life to avoid: allowing the aspects of yourself you consider the worst or weakest to get out of hand. There is objective data to suggest undertaking these exercises has positive results. This is due to the idea that the establishing of values has a causal affect on our actions. 20:07 The story of Jonah and the Whale. The allegorical interpretation being a person who is gripped by a life problem they haven’t encountered before and are consumed by it. Mention of “The Hobbit”, and the motif of the dragon. That periods of peace and balance are never permanent due to the unpredictable and unstable of existence. That a human being’s knowledge and understanding of themselves and their environment is limited, and problems emerge from the realm of the unknown - the unknowable future. That when a person is struck by such problems, they are transported to a new place. They experience a descent into the underworld, into the belly of the beast, and if they are able to gain the knowledge needed to overcome the problem, then they ascend again. The message, then, is that the gaining of knowledge is preceded by the painful process of suffering. 24:00 How do you define yourself? Whether you should identify with 1) who you are now, 2) who you could be, or 3), the part of you which can observe and mediate the process of change from one to the other. That identification with the latter is a fundamental idea of the religions of the world. That religious ideas should be considered archetypal and should be explored by students of psychology since archetypes and their related symbols are the language of the subconscious, and so, are fundamental to how we relate to and interpret reality. 26:21 Example of the above in the fact that men are attracted to women with a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.68. That this is inbuilt at the deepest level of the psyche and demonstrates the existence of an underlying fundamental notion of what is beautiful across the species. So, we can say there is an archetype of beauty. 28:56 The reason people act imperfectly is because in order to become someone who can know what is the right thing to do, and have the will to act it out, one needs to have learned many lessons and gained the knowledge from them. The fact that the most important lessons are the most painful means that most people aren’t able to go through what it takes to learn them. 29:46 Resources for students in the class. Explanation of the structure of the course, which will begin with lectures that cover different reoccurring archetypal and mythological stories and characters from a variety of cultures throughout history. That these stories are actually representations of the most fundamental aspects of human personality and it’s transformations. This fundamental knowledge-base will then serve as a framework into which the various - sometimes seemingly unrelated - theories of different clinicians and philosophers may be placed into in order to help to marry them together into a big picture that can be more easily grasped and remembered by the students. 32:36 The human obsession with storytelling and the theory that narrative is the structure of human experience/existence. Jung’s take: the importance of knowing the story you are acting out in life, since we are simply the pawns; we fall into the roles we are playing in it, and to understand the story gives us the opportunity to change to a better one, since we might see the ending is not what we would like for ourselves. 35:15 From mythological stories, to an exploration of shamanic initiation and its use as a catalyst for personality transformation. One of the benefits of terrible initiatory experiences is that it calibrates the individual’s nervous system for life as an adult, giving them a yardstick by which they can measure potentially dangerous or unpleasant future experiences by. The subject also serves as a segue into depth psychology. That shamanism gives us a picture of humanity’s study of and interaction with the realms of the subconscious and unconscious before the birth of modern psychology and psychoanalysis. 38:26 Dreaming; the often symbolic nature of dreams and their relation to the symbols of shamanic and heroic initiations. 41:08 Studying the nature of initiation ceremony gives one an idea of the price one has to pay in order to transform. That these ceremonies we often based around the idea that the person would be taken apart and put back together anew (tortured, crucified). That this carries over into clinical exposure therapy. That what prevents a person from transforming are fears they have heretofore been unwilling to face. And the process of voluntarily facing and conquering one’s fears provides the new knowledge and strength that enables one to change for the better. 42:23 We find this idea in the myth of fighting a dragon to attain a prize. 43:22 Constructivism. Piaget. Short biographical introduction. The bottom-up, stage theory of childhood development. The development of the psyche dependent on physical embodiment and interaction with environment. That our relationship with reality is one of how to act in it. 48:06 Depth psychology. Freud. Jung. Nietzsche. The death of God/religion, and it’s consequences. Jung’s belief that the mythological and religious systems being lost from the outside world were just pulled back into man’s psyche from where they originated. That the archetypes underpinning our psyches are what really determine our individual experiences, we are their pawns, as the Greeks were the pawns of their gods. We are not an individual ‘I’. Man is legion. We are a collection of different potentials all vying with each other to actuate. Freud, Venus, Mars. 55:28 Freud and the Oedipal Complex. A toxic family unit being one which discourages independence. The dependence of the new born human. Proper role of parent being to safely raise the child and foster their ability to navigate in the world without them. The difference between mother and father in this process. 58:59 Humanism, existentialism, phenomenology. Grounded in psychology and philosophy. What is real? Not simply physical, measurable reality, but anything that one experiences. Existentialism’s fundamental experience of anxiety and dread in relation to being. Their answer is to pursue what makes life worthwhile in order to counterbalance the inescapable suffering that comes from it. 1:03:18 Solzhenitsyn. The Gulag Archipelago. Viktor Frankl. How one derives meaning from life experience. How the way we interpret meaning and act based on it affects those around us and society as a whole. The consequences of our individual actions propagate out into our reality. 1:06:58 The biology behind the underlying systems which govern our motivations and emotions. Motivations = goal driven. Emotions = markers for progression towards goals. 1:08:56 Five factor trait theory and psychometrics. Openness, conscientiousness, extroversion agreeableness, neuroticism. Statistical distribution. 1:12:40 Is this the right course for you?

I'm 50, I'm a lifelong student of Jung, Nietzsche etc etcput purely self educated, no professional by any means. As I've grown older, I've often wished I could go to university now, study psychology, philosophy and so on. Then I've come across this in my travels and can't believe my luck. I will be listening to all of his lectures, consider this the fulfilment of my wish to obtain a university education. So awesome that these are online, in full, accessible for free. Jordan Peterson is one of the greatest men to be alive today. We are watching history being written before our eyes. Drink it in, this is the best vision of our 'salvation' as a species. We ignore it at our peril. The future is here, this is how we survive, and thrive. Thank you, Jordan, you are one of the greatest thinkers in human history.

1:05:20 The character Gandalf from lord of the rings has a good quote about this: “Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.” Great lecture by the way! also loved your talk on Joe Rogans podcast!

I'm studying psychology in Denmark, and I'm absolutely intrigued by Jordan. I've never witnessed a lecturer in my classes who's more passionate and personally invested in his lectures than Jordan seems to be. Also, the curriculum of his classes are absolutely badass. Most psych professors would see no valueing talking about someone like Kierkegaard, Jung etc. It's so cool and refreshing to see someone like Peterson.

21 years in life, 3 different years of dropping out and perhaps my entire life with such a profound disinterest in schooling, and I've found my mentor on, of all places, KZread. I've just ordered a notebook and I've got a pen my mother bought me some time ago for my birthday and I'm going to start taking notes. I'm putting this here mainly as a timestamp for the start of something new in hopes that KZread is still up and around at a point that I'm inclined to look back at this, but I'm also writing this as a thank you. If you ever see this, which, if you get back well and healthy, I'm going to make it a goal to see that you do.. I have the deepest desire to thank you mostly for your courage. I can't put myself in your shoes, but if I saw myself there, even making the most pristine and finely polished points there are to make.. I'd be stressed and riddled with anxiety to high heaven. It takes courage to present yourself to someone as a teacher, especially in the realm of philosophy. It's all just a big puzzle and to subject yourself to criticism on subjects that are just now being elaborated on... in a time like this? I mean I know times have always been judgmental throughout times but in the past it was physical but now existing out of societies confines subject you to mental torment.. and I suppose that's always been a course of history as well. I wrapped back into my own point so I need to have a little Socrates discussion on that (thank you for making that process distinct in my mind so I can fully utilize it) There's something deep and meaningful that I want to thank you for but I don't believe I've acquired it yet. I'd typically delete these kinds of pointless, folding in on themselves kind of convos, but I'm going to make it a philosophy of mine, starting today, to start recording my mistakes. a good philosophy

I'm not so sure we all need to be deep thinkers and philosophers. I don't see anything really scary about that specifically.

They are often being dismissed as the views of bunch of old white men that are really not relevant anymore.

Crazeyfor67 No, I don't think it is scary that most people aren't deep thinkers and philosophers, I mean that is what I would expect. I do think it is "scary" or unfortunate that it seems more and more nowadays that these voices from the past are dismissed because well they were mostly old white men. It seems nowadays we're more interested in hearing the voices of the so called marginalized in today's society, and of course its mostly young people who have the loudest voices. I guess we could listen to them too but not to the detriment of drowning out the great thinkers of the past. I am an old white guy too btw.

I've been studying psychology for a year and half now through The Open University, full time, at the same time as working full time. I think, Dr Peterson you'd be pleased to know that I haven't (at least yet) come across any views that I would consider biased or influential left wing thinking and it's something that I have been vigilant about even before watching your videos, in fact it was my vigilance that lead me to listening to you. Your passion for truth and even the subjectivity of truth is something I identify with and I respect greatly. You've made the claim many times that 'respect is not given, it's earned, and should be' to paraphrase. I notice many people do not seem to fully understand that concept because of the perversion of the overall concept of 'respect' itself in language and indeed education. Anyway, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you I respect you and you've earned every bit of my respect through your dedication to the pursuit of the unapologetic truth from which to draw conclusion, as oppose to the more popular conception of constructing a conclusion from which to draw modest truth. Thank you,

It is such an honor and privilege that all of these are up for the education of the general public. Kind of reminds me of when Harvard decided to post actual John Rawls lectures from the early 80s. Different subject and style but in both cases getting to see great minds in action.

So off topic, but dr. Peterson looks so much healthier today. Good for him!

What a joy...! Listening to Jordan Peterson's lectures, as if I were in that university lecture room, amongst the other students... in 2021! Can't get any better ❤️

To say thst I am grateful to have the opportunity to listen and learn from Dr. Peterson is such an understatement. I am feeling privileged.

Thank you so much för sharing this! Your videos and content has changed my life.

Points to contemplate: (Not for students and is not a summary of everything JP covers here. Just some points I found interesting) - Personality determines how you bias your perceptions so that the world appears to you in a particular manner. - The reason people think differently is that the facts array themselves differently before them. - There are things you wouldn't know given your temperamental stance and how it colours your perception. People are more or less settled on a 5 dimensional personality model. - The most potent learning experiences tend to occur when something within the realm of your experience happens that you don't expect and often don't want. - The act of positing value like a valued future or no negatively valued future is a prerequisite to appropriate functional being. Humans are value producing beings. - Is this the world or is this me? Heidegger (philospher) and narratives (further reading) Carl Jung and tragedy "you should figure out your story because it might be a tragedy" (further reading) - Initiations in different cultures are used to catalyse transformation in young men. Transforming a male adolescent into a man by way of dismantling the childhood personality often rather brutally. It helps him define what constitutes terrible and so calibrates his anxiety system. Is that brutality necessary? You have to identify his fear to face it. - Dreams happen to us, we don't make them happen. We are the subject of the dream. So in the world is dreaming? Jung would say its the world dreaming inside of you. - Piaget (genetic epistemologist) was obsessed by the link between religion and science. How a baby constructs his world and gains knowledge. Your conceptions about the world are abstractions of how to act in the world. A baby's body grows in sinc with its psyche. Piaget explains how to build a psyche from the bottom up (further reading). Jung - "what happens in the imagination is real, it's just another category of real" - JP's experience from his clinics - I never had clients whose parents made them too independent. Their families have conspired to have them remain in an infantilised state. Their world is the family. They're not dealing with the concerns of the broader world. Usually maternal anxiety which gets in the way of complete independence. You can then manifest the anxiety that you've been taught. I can't believe Jordan Peterson has made this material available for free! A big thank you and wishing you a full recovery!

I'm a physics undergraduate but absolutely love peterson and his lectures

Tangential, but while Joseph Campbell is often interpreted as advocating a sort of feel-good hippie spiritualism (29:20), he stole the "follow your bliss" phrase from Buddhism (not Jung) and it isn't supposed to be a guarantee of happiness so much as a strategy for achieving enlightenment. Nietzsche pointed out that Christianity justifies itself on utilitarian premises, so it makes sense that most Western critics conflate "enlightenment" with "happiness" when reading him (what is the point of religion if not to make us happy?). But Campbell was a fan of Schopenhauer and believed that the conditions for life (limited existence in time/space) made suffering inevitable. So his "follow-your-bliss" was not really about embracing hedonism so much as avoiding the poisonous delusions (regret? bitterness?) that could result from living a life enslaved to the expectations and values of society rather than oneself. Anyway, just commenting since I noticed you make the same point in a few other lectures and think you're being a bit unfair to him. The distinction may be useful as a pedagogical tool in explaining Jung's ideas, but especially in the context of Campbell's other writings ("the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek") it is probably fairer to say he was actually in pretty close agreement with Jung on this point.

When you are a bucko the lecture is for you. When you have cleaned your room it ceases to be. ;) This openness vs orderliness or creativity vs coscienciousness traits do not stop to puzzle me.

Instability associated with personality transformation is real. Much of the stability originates from the biologic family. Post transformation, the individual no longer “fits” the mold that was familiar to other family members. Those closest to us can become our most vicious saboteurs during our journey of change.

What a behemoth of a proffesor. I don't think those students knew how lucky they were having Jordan Peterson in front of them.

Best thing from Canada since "Kids in The Hall"! Hey maybe they were the kids outside his class in the hall? BelBivDevo

7 years ago i was a total different person! Wow how time changes people! For the better if you allow it.

i watched crumb like 20 years ago!

This vídeo needs a legend, please someone put that!

At 4:00 I wonder if Mr Peterson is familiar with Steven Reiss' work on values differences, connected to temperamental difference. (Also Jerome Kagan too) Reiss calls self hugging the mind blindness that even highly empathic people have when they assume others are more like themselves that those others really are.

Dr Peterson, where would I find the personality test in which you speak at the end of the video? I'd be interested to see where I sit. Your videos are amazing, and I'm slowly working my way through them. Thank you for putting them online.

I forgot I wrote this, wow. Vietsub, look into things more deeper then Peterson. Look at the mind throughout the spectrum rather then what is readily available to you. Read outside your comfort zone.

The Truth will set you free.

Greetings from Yemen/Aden.

This is the third lecture series that I start from doctor Peterson just for my own entertainment and development! If you will consume content it might as well be good content.

I'm taking the leap...

So, I've been watching this lecture out of order. I think there should be a ordered playlist in the channel playlist section to avoid that. Though I found the lecture quite understandable anyway. I guess each lecture doesn't build on top of one another but instead surveys a landscape of ideas. I find this course really accessible without specialist knowledge in that field and most of the references are, I think, widespread in our culture. What is the URL to the syllabus ? It is mentioned at 7:10 but the projection slides are not visible in the video and the url in question isn't in the video description. I checked Mr Peterson's website (which is sometime slow or unresponsive, you have to wait) and found the PSY230H class page at jordanbpeterson.com/classes/ There is also a book list on the website jordanbpeterson.com/2016/11/book-list/ but the book mentionned by name here, Black Swan, isn't in the list. I'm surprised that Black Swan is in the syllabus, the author has an anti-academia streak for starters and his book and ideas are about as disorganized as my youtube comments ! It's basically stream-of-consciousness style and while there was a lot of interesting stuff in there, I don't see how it applies to this course, I listened to about 5 of the lectures at random, maybe I missed the one where it is relevant.

Amazing

I thank nature for your existence

Realy like it. I'm studying psychology here in Brazil and its helping me alot. Does anyone have the image of Jonah that he talks about so much?

When you have finished the maps of meaning series, personality and it’s transformation series and the psychological significance of the biblical stories series, it means you have officially graduated from the renounced Peterson Academy 👩‍🎓👏🏼

Jordan Peterson, you’re ruining my life. In a good way. I think.

He's ruining the worst part of my life, and I couldn't be happier.

This is a good teacher as a person.:) not only smart and understandable. I knew he was good when he said, "whats wrong with being normal?" Most laws try to force the masses to act normally. What if force is not needed? I mean isn't it true this is why people rebel? Because slavery is the conflicting force to freedom? What is life without choice? And what would your government think would happen when these forces collide? Sorry to rant into left field but this man makes me think too, and thats the real point.:) Theres nothing wrong with being normal but rebellion is necessary the problem is that rebellion to normalcy is detrimental to the one rebelling in this case just like murder or drugs. Your government if like mine is trying to kill, drive you crazy or turn you into a vegetable. Just to prove themselves right? Now that is insidious! :(

holy shit, I started thinking about Crumb right before you mentioned him

How do you prepare for these lectures? Do you have to refresh yourself on the materials a day or so before, or do you just get up there and wing it for an hour and a half? Gosh...

Hope you recover soon! I miss you.

He can smile 😃!!!!! Omg! Can't believe that..🤣

21:14. When the thin ice beneath you gives way

Thinking of doing higher education and I just looked at the book list.. There are 113 books listed! Is a student expected to read all that and if so, within what sort of time frame?
