I love Jordan Peterson. He says the things I think constantly. That part where he discusses dealing with an alcoholic brother was a play by play of my life. My brother was a dangerous drug abuser through his teens. I could list the hundred stories. It was all a downward spiral, tearing my family apart. We tried everything too. Eventually, we all had enough. Atleast I did. I was leaving for college in about two weeks and he had what alcoholics call a "moment of clarity". We spent that day painting a canoe and I straight up told him that I wasn't going to let him drag me down anymore. I figured once I left he would either go to prison or die. He checked himself into rehab later that month. Going on 5 years sober now, god bless.

[@jonasserra4000]

It may have been Jocko who said it, I love him too. This conversation was awesome and way too short.

[@michaelkofman3881]

[@viktorzolsar8873]

Obviously I found this video a tad late and am just learning about these men. When Mr. Peterson said "be the most reliable person at your fathers funeral" that hit me hard as hell. My father passed this last year and it is true everyone was a blubbering mess and I felt it was my job to make sure things went smoothly. I grieved in silence in my own time, and it really meant a lot to hear someone respect that moment in my life.

[@truck9009]

I’ve always had the same role. I’ve always been the one others have leaned on, when they couldn’t stand alone. Maybe that’s why I am who I am, where I am, and when I am. One little bit of advice. Find a time and place to let your own grief out. If you don’t, it’s coming anyway. But, it’ll come at a time and place of its own. Most times it’ll be inconvenient as hell.

[@alexashworth3119]

@@truck9009 The world's sorrow leads to literal death. Godly sorrow leads to life and repentance. I think it's important to also point out that each of us leaned on someone else at many moments throughout our lives. From conception, through childhood, adulthood and if you become old and grey. Even castaways use what other human beings have taught and left behind to keep living. None of us exist without someone else, or else we wouldn't have been born. Human beings are meant to receive love and to share love. If not cared for humans would never be able to make it to an age where they could stand. For instance, babies who are killed before birth do not ever get to stand on earth like we do. No love. No life. At one point we cried uncontrollably and slobbered on ourselves, unable to even clean our own rear ends. People like to forget that and it instills arrogance. Each of us are as delicate as snow flakes. One or two degrees and it's all gone. God upholds everything that lives, even the wicked. The wicked do not inwardly acknowledge these things, that's how they can bring so much harm without an inch of self restraint or second thought. They don't believe in a higher authority and they do not believe the things they even say they believe. They don't believe they will be accountable. God has comforted me through plenty of pain and death. When I say comfort, in my situation I became well aware that God keeps us alive even when our hearts want to stop beating. Gods comfort keeps us alive when even our bodies should have failed. Grief has physical properties because it happens beyond the quantum level in the "Spirit". Information never actually "breaks down". The body may turn to dust, but the information never actually dissappears. Human bodies are mortal, but the spirit of a person isn't destroyed. Like everything else it just experiences a "phase change". Boiling water doesn't dissappear, it changes and it moves. Consciousness is the same way. Spirits are immortal. Destruction in the spirit is "eternal hell" but preservation in the spiritual realm is eternal life or "heaven". Death is something everyone has in common, but people don't confront it until it spits in their face. God taught me that goodbye isn't forever as far as death goes. Having the knowledge that there is a God and that there is more to the universe was essential to my personal survival. Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. Not that I am special, but I am blessed to have been made aware of it. Jesus was our example of how to face death. He beat it. He was proof that death is a force that is subject to God. Death doesn't reign. Death is not the final say. Nor is it a true authority. We thought gravity was in authority, birds knew long before rockets that this was not true. I suppose it's good to hang your head and sit in the dark sometimes. We gain knowledge and perseverance by it. But always take your inner light with you if you have one. If one doesn't have the light of truth in them, that's all they'll see in those moments is darkness. Have yourself a great day my friend. Feels good to see folks trying to encourage others. Hope is so important. Faith hope and love. Makes the pain tolerable. 👍

I was sitting in my living room watching TV. The barbacue was heating up. I went inside because it was fucking hot outside. My splinting was annoying me hard. I had a beer in my healthy hand. Then it comes on TV. A convoy was hit by an IED. 4 dead, 23 injured. I knew from the size of the unit given in the news within a second: This was my batallion. Back than I wasn't very experienced. Saw some small scale action later. But I never came in a situation again in my life that I hated more than this. Sitting on your ass, with a beer half around the world while your friends are lying in their own blood. Only thing that came close to it was seeing my grandma (which I really loved) suffering from dementia more and more over the years and not beeing able to do shit about it.

Peterson has definitely helped me steer my direction in life towards heaven (metaphorically). Its so fucking brutal being honest with yourself and sifting through all the bullshit you surrounded and comforted yourself in for what now seems too long.

Jocko is the closest thing to a real life Space Marine we have.

[@thewills12]

This is probably one of the best podcasts I have heard. Dr. Peterson is explaining things is a very relatable way that avoids his usual wordiness and allegory. He really is just a person in this one, with some great advice. "Don't teach yourself to not be afraid, teach yourself to be brave". Awesome

[@nicholaskoenig3106]

I got discipline for days...but these two, such different experiences, yet have nearly the exact same wisdom. Love it.

John T it's a great listen, imagine our world w Dr. Peterson in Charge and Jocko as right hand man.. Lol almost like Hershel and Rick on walking dead reference.. Jocko easily could be in charge yet looks to him for advice to make sure he does the right thing w his power

[@bc5766]

The good Doctor has a way of turning things we already know subconsciously into profound statements that stick with us. Thank you.

[@gamerleo]

I immensely enjoy when Dr. Peterson is discussing his one client that was trying to improve his salary by x3. As someone who is a educated public health professional, I had to apply for 185 jobs (with years of experience in the field), and I interviewed at only 6 organizations. I obtained one offer out of 185 jobs. It only takes one. Move forward :)

[@theodoroskitsios3251]

At last !!!!! Jordan is saying the reallll truth !!!

[@lloydbrown5248]

The podcast in 2017 with Jordan was easily my favourite podcast ever. This is greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you Jocko, Echo & Jordan Peterson.

[@kauxkaux]

I would like to see an interview with Peterson´s daughter... man, her story makes me cry every time he reveals something new about it

[@fabianb.5348]

There are multiple interviews of Peterson and his daughter on youtube. Search for "the agenda depression Peterson"

[@thomaslopez3774]

kauxkaux she's all over instagram, check her out. All she eats is steak, it's pretty funny.

[@hariman7727]

There's a lot more on that in 12 Rules For Life. Mikhaila Peterson is TOUGH.

[@nataliek5134]

She has her own podcast here on KZbin. Check it out she's amazing

[@djharmonix]

Jocko you're doing a great job as a host and interviewer. It's particularly awesome that you let the man speak without ever interrupting him during his wild but oh-so inspiring rants. Thank you for your work!

[@MrCoreyCoreyCorey]

This, yes man, I knew I would find this already stated. What a gentleman, to let him speak. I have so much respect for you both. I am proud of both of you. And I thank both of you for sharing your thoughts in the many videos from each of you that I have contemplated and enjoyed.

I've buried a lot of family members over the years. The first being my grandmother back in high school. I was asked then to be a pall bearer and it shook me to the core. I still did it. And to this day I view it as an honor to do so despite the burden of grieving and emotions. Listening to JP and JW it's something of a trip to be able to relate this convo to a lot of my various experiences to date....I'll just leave it at that.

[@nickamacri]

Jordan Peterson is at an interesting point right now... he has this extended metaphor he uses to describe outstanding performance... he talks about the figure skater who's about to compete, and the skater's opponent goes out and just crushes it right before the skater is up... and he asks, what do you do if you're the skater at this point... and he says that all the skater can do is go out and skate on the absolute threshold of chaos, pushing himself to the brink of totally falling apart... that's brilliance, that's breaking what was previously understood as the limit... and he says we know this when we see it because we get chills watching stuff like this, watching someone operating at their absolute maximum, just a slip away from chaos. And I think that's where Jordan Peterson is right now and he knows it... he's attained this unexpected, rather unprecedented level of notoriety just by speaking his truth as he has come to understand it after decades of thinking about the human state. I've heard him say in a number of recent interviews that he worries about saying something offensive, something that will bring it all to an end... just the way the figure skater is a mere slip up away from collapsing. I actually believe Peterson thinks something like this is bound to happen... and I bet anyone thrust into the limelight would feel the same way. Peterson is doing everything he possibly can and he's reaching new heights in the process... but he believes himself to be in the place of the figure skater. And I think as a result of that he wants to shout his message as succinctly and loudly as possible to all who will listen while he has the forum... I think that's why he approached this podcast with the aim of hammering home the book again and again. He knows Jocko's podcast is a forum where he's not going to get questions about the alt-right, etc., so he used the podcast to get his core points out there uninterrupted as best he could. I support him in what I believe he's trying to do. But I believe he should be careful to not oversimplify as he strives to reach a mass audience while he has this moment. Jordan Peterson's brilliance does not reduce to "clean your room," as significant as that refrain is to his message.

[@SK_Esskay]

[@kakuzzu]

Thats actually a great thought

[@billerickson806]

He doesn't care.

[@thecoobs8820]

Thanks for your comment! I agree with what you're saying here, and 2 years later it's still the same thing. I think that he was pushed into the limelight because the world around him needs this voice, a voice of clarity and truth with no propaganda, but hey his propaganda might be just that, also to show people, to tell people that you can practice becoming the best version of yourself despite the underlying "chaos and malevolence"-J.P, that others have played a role in causing. It seems like it's only now that people like Jordan Peterson, David Goggins, Jocko Willink, Ben Shapiro and for some including me Joe Rogan are successfully putting their word out there, a time where people know they need to hear unrelenting truth, yet some have trouble knowing that's what they're feeling. One by one, people are saying "fuck it, I'm gonna 'Get after it' and get my head screwed on straight. These men that i listed are the men that would've stayed silent, only if the world around them sufficed, and trying hard (and succeeding) to get people to wake their ass up. With how things are in society with emotional wrecks putting on a proud face to share their feelings, Jordan points out that even though these feelings are destructive not just to the individual but onlookers as well, they are also warranted and still hold value, for me what i think about the radical movements like the feminazis we all see is that, they demonstrate that they can have immense passion for something they believe in and these people are just one step away from learning to get a grip on reality.

the part about the lifeguard is DEFINITELY TRUE. i saved my brother's life once , he was panicking when we were in a lake swimming. I had to push him back before I could tow him in.

[@johnnyomerta1730]

How i found Jocko Willink's Pod cast. Gabor Mate ➡️ Robert Sapolsky ➡️ Phillip Zimbardo ➡️ Jordan Peterson ➡️Joe Rogan = Jocko and Echo. Through a bunch of books, interviews, KZbin videos and podcast. Crazy how i started off in one place and ended up in another. I understand things so much better now.

[@MaxHarden]

Never heard of Jocko but he seems to be an intellectual type brute. Strong body and mind. Good for him.

[@matthewmccullough8374]

Jordan Peterson just amazes me with his bridging of intelligence, education, wisdom, experience and ability to convey his knowledge. Between him and Jocko, most of my biggest issues with succeeding at the extraordinary things I do above and beyond my career and my family and even those things as well. So grateful

[@ciarenm8242]

Strength of body meets strength of mind, sharing strength of character. Great talk.

Jocko just from hearing you speak I’ve got a good sense of character. When I speak I want that same level of volume. You sound like a good man

I understand COMPLETELY why the "some" want to de-platform Peterson.... He makes sense. He empowers. He explains and gives guidance. Dangerous... very dangerous....... when you want people (*Cough* men *cough*) ashamed, humiliated and crushed underfoot.

Being a temporary victim is ok. But to cure victim hood is a huge threat to 90% of the power structure.

Yep. It's the same reason that the left hates Christianity and Judaism. They provide guidance towards self sufficiency, which is guidance away from the dependency the left tries to sell.

That intro monologue really put things in perspective for me. I recently had all of my relationships, plans, and work over the last four years fall apart, but shit I'm still alive. No more self-pity. Sorry to hear about your friend Jocko. I'm sure he would be proud of all that you're doing and glad that his sacrifice meant something to so many people. Thank you both for your service.

[@sageschroeder]

[@zw6686]

Gotta say this has been my favorite interview about 12 rules for life so far. I think this is the first time I've actually heard someone discuss what's actually in the book with Peterson as opposed going into all the political controversy stuff surrounding it. Jocko looks like the only ones who actually read the book before interviewing Peterson.

[@comradeshmoo]

Zack Wiant Incredibly sad that seems to be the case - it used to be the standard for interviewing an author that points from the book were discussed in the interview. Not all interviewers would read every guest's book from cover to cover every time, but certainly at least hit on the big points. These days it seems like interviewers aren't even expected to know anything about their guest that didn't come up in, say, a MacLean's hit piece.
