What Your Anxiety Is Trying to Tell You | Tour Stop: San Diego

8:05 "Don't make a habit of pursuing things that aren't good for you, because you build that into you. That's' what happens when you become addicted to something." Amen Jordan, Amen.

My brain exploded when he broke down what anxiety was. Dr. P is the only person that has ever made me stop in the middle of a run and make voice memo.

Every time my life is a mess of anxiety and depression, and the usual external stimuli, like gaming and binge-watching, no longer help with keeping the chaos at bay, I feel subconciously drawn to Peterson's lectures, and it almost always makes me feel a little bit better. What he explains in this one has kinda made me understand why that is. Chaos is the multiplicity that emerges out of the collapse of the simplicity of order. The salvation from chaos is order.

I didn't realize how much I missed hearing this man speak. Now I'm sitting on my bed, cross-legged and raptured by his every word. I don't know what part of me needed this but I'm happy I got to listen to this. How in the world people don't see this man as necessary (or men in general for that matter) is truly baffling to me. Thanks for helping us to grow Dr. Peterson. Thank you for continuing to educate us even when we don't deserve it. I pray for many more talks from you.

I've said for a long time that Play is probably the most important part of life. I'm really glad to have heard JP bring it up the way he did.

"Don't make a habit of pursuing things that aren't good for you." That's where willpower and self-restraint come in. I think a lot of people inherently know that falling prey to a certain temptation will send their life on a downward spiral, yet they'll indulge in it anyway to satisfy their momentary urges. And that's especially true if someone happens to be in a heightened emotional state.

im a simple 50 yr old electrician and sometimes i come up with theories by myself about life. By living , Then to have found JP and have him articulate his really helps cement mine. Truth is out there who work at life . Find yours and content you will be JP is a gift

This Man is a Genius and I feel privileged to be alive in the time he began speaking to the World.

Anxiety = the manifestation of incongruency between the "experienced self" and "idealized self".

We could have many thousands of Jordan Petersons if this world hadn't been so repulsively, and intentionally, dumbed down. Such a tragedy.

JB's elaborations and analogies are incredibly comprehensive and insightful ✍️

Life changing stuff. God bless Jordan Peterson.

This man speaks plainly what we all need to hear.

I ❤️ Dr. Peterson. Oh, how i would love to sit on a porch swing, iced tea in hand and just banter back n forth about philosophers, psychology, social behavioral sciences, stoicism, religions, and everything in between! All with respect and honor to be able to verbally, mentally and psychologically spar with an ethereal/wondrous and poignant individual with this much caliber! This world is in desperate NEED of a man, a soul and HUMAN like Mr. PETERSON! I adore this human ❤

JP so good to have you back …and in top form.

2 Hours of Masterclass, packed into less than 20 minutes. You gotta re-watch his lectures multiple times to glean the full meaning and impact, because Jordan is such a deeply meaningful thinker - and sharer of his knowledge - that watching and listening to them, is often something like taking a drink of water on a hot day... from a fire hose that's wide open. 👀 In other words: to gain what is needed, you have to approach carefully, or what you deeply need, may end up overwhelming you.

JP can stretch a single sentence into an entire lecture, no problem.

Amazing to see you develop these thoughts over the years. Wow.

im not a smart person and a lot of the words he uses i have to look up. but i know what he is saying and he speaks directly to me. we need more souls like his in this world.
