Why Your Resentment Is a Choice

What does a nervous man on a first date in a crowded restaurant have to do with the darkest impulses a human being can harbor? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson takes a scene so ordinary you have lived it a dozen times and slows it down until something unsettling appears underneath. Every glance across that table, he argues, is already serving a hidden aim, and the direction of that aim quietly decides whether the person sitting across from you is a partner to love or a tool to use. From the biology of why we pair bond, through the four dark traits that psychologists spent fifty years mapping, to the story of two brothers and a sacrifice gone wrong, Peterson traces how ordinary desire curdles into something monstrous, and how the same attention, aimed differently, becomes the foundation of trust, marriage, and everything worth building. What begins as dating advice ends somewhere you will not expect, with a burning sword, a fleeing prophet, and a question you answer without meaning to every time you look at another person.

What to Do When Life Feels Empty

What does a 75-year-old man leaving his father's house for the first time have to do with the darkest question a human being can ask about themselves? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson traces a single obsession — how ordinary people commit extraordinary evil — from a teenage encounter with books about Nazi Germany and the Soviet gulag, through unsettling visits to a maximum security prison, to a startling personal reckoning with his own capacity for darkness. What he found waiting at the bottom of that question wasn't despair, but something far more unexpected: an ancient story about calling, sacrifice, and the kind of adventure that makes the weight of being alive feel worth carrying. The story of Abraham turns out to be less about faith in the conventional sense and far more about a question you already know the answer to — whether you're listening.

What To Do When You Have No Vision For Your Life

What do medieval alchemists, your recurring bad memories, and the reason you can't feel joy have in common? In this lecture, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson traces a single thread from Carl Jung's strangest work to a revolutionary discovery that emerged in four different scientific fields at once, one that changes how you understand every movie you've watched and every choice you've made. Along the way he reveals the writing exercise he built with colleagues from Harvard and McGill that can measurably lower your stress, the 90 minutes a week that determine whether a marriage survives, and the question our culture never asks anyone even once in their life. The night closes with a live Q&A where Dr. Peterson does not hold back on the state of Canada, and a story about a suit that changed more than he expected.

Message from JBP | What You Should Put First in Your Life

Hi everybody. Welcome to the release of the second lecture from my extensive tour archives. We’ve been working together late at night when my symptoms recede enough so that I can finally concentrate to make this release a possibility. At the same time recently, I've been able to write a little bit and I'm working on three essays at the moment, which I hope to finish and release in the near future. One deals with the climate lies propagated by the socialists and the leftists. Another deals with the issue of the alphabet mafia and the associated Pride movement. And the final one deals with the so-called “rape gangs” in the UK, asking whether the terminology “rape gang”, which is definitely an improvement over “grooming gang”, is sufficient to accurately describe the magnitude of the crimes that are being committed. In any case, I'm working on these now, hoping to contribute something to the ongoing public debate about these crucially important issues. I'm unhappy with my silence, however necessitated it might be by the conditions of my illness. I would like to get back to. Thanks for your time and attention. I hope you enjoy listening to this second lecture as much as I enjoyed delivering it. This is the second lecture from the We Who Wrestle With God tour. What does it mean that your God is whatever you put first? Why are the stories that grip you not false but hyper-real? Why is work identical to sacrifice, and what does that reveal about the nature of the covenantal relationship between humanity and the spirit of being? What happened when Cain offered his second rate effort and why is that same temptation available to every one of us in every decision we make? What is the story of Job really about? And what is the one promise that runs through the entire biblical corpus for those who are willing to offer their best? These are not abstract questions. They are the questions that determine the structure of your life whether you answer them consciously or not.

562. What Do We Actually Know About Autism? | Sir Simon Baron-Cohen

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson speaks with psychologist and autism researcher Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen about the nature of empathy, systemizing, and the neurological basis of autism. This needed conversation explores how humans develop theory of mind, the differences between cognitive and affective empathy, and why some individuals gravitate toward systems over social interaction. They discuss the evolutionary roots of invention, gender differences in cognition, and how autistic traits relate to creativity and pattern recognition. Unflinchingly, they also discuss the darker side of empathy deficits—including psychopathy and cruelty—raising urgent questions about compassion, human development, and our capacity for evil. Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, Simon Baron-Cohen is Director of the Autism Research Centre and a global leader in autism research. He pioneered the 'mindblindness' and 'empathizing-systemizing' theories, has authored over 770 scientific papers, and was knighted in 2021 for his contributions to autism understanding. His work spans clinical practice, public education, and cutting-edge research on cognitive sex differences, empathy, and neurodiversity.

Why Short-Term Pleasure Is Ruining Your Life

What does it mean that every glance you take is a moral act — and that the world you see is literally shaped by what you're aiming at when you look? This lecture builds from a deceptively simple observation about perception and intent into one of the oldest and most unsettling ideas in the biblical tradition: that the spirit you bring to your decisions determines what reality reveals to you. Moving through the stories of Jacob's ladder, Elijah's cave, and the still small voice that turns out to be harder to hear than any earthquake or firestorm, Peterson traces the case that conscience, calling, and the instinct to aim upward are not three things but one — and that the God of the Old Testament is less a being to be believed in than a direction to be chosen, one glance, one word, one sacrifice at a time.

Why You Can’t Get What You Actually Want

What if the self you keep trying to serve isn't actually you at all? In this lecture, the final stop of a 60 city tour, Jordan Peterson begins with an unlikely admission from the world's most famous atheist and follows it into the two shortest, densest paragraphs in the Bible: the story of two brothers and the offerings they make. From there he traces a single thread through the whole architecture of a human life, why the child who insists on his own way ends up with no friends, why a marriage cannot survive on getting what you want, and how a thousand quiet hours of resentment turn an ordinary person into someone capable of the unthinkable. What he uncovers is not a rule about religion but a question your own conscience has been asking you all along, one that decides whether the world opens up in front of you or closes in. The answer has nothing to do with belief in the usual sense, and everything to do with what you're willing to give up. This lecture was filmed on June 25, 2024, in Mexico City, Mexico.
