2017 Personality 01: Introduction

In this lecture, I define personality from multiple angles, historical, constructivist, psychoanalytic, behavioral and neuropsychological. Personality is a way of looking at the world, and a characteristic mode of behaving. It's both stable and adaptively dynamic.

[@EmpressRetard]

@@sdct27 It definitely is! Not just because of how learning will help you grow as a person and succeed in multiple aspects of your life, but because what you choose to do with your free time is priceless. It could be watching silly, pointless videos, hiking, art, whatever. I always tell everyone that their time is worth worlds more than being able to afford anything beyond the basic necessities, food, car, roof over your head. Everything else is all superficial and it will not be there in your last days, when all you have left is your memories. At the end of the day, living your life how you choose, so long as you aren't negatively impacting another's life, is the most important thing and should be valued above work. I encourage everyone to be a minimalist, unless they're making a killing doing what they love. It is far better to love what you do and have next to nothing than to hate what you do and have everything. Life is short, spend it how you want, doing what you want, wherever you want.

I will read it and re read and then i will buy your next book. Because even those few chapters i managed to read during summer and the few lectures I've seen have already changed my view on life.

The battle Peterson is engaged in is one in defence of the dream that began with Plato; an idea that people can aim towards enlightenment, not through conquest and oppression, but through pontification and debate. So to those who simply learn from Peterson, I offer you my support. Agree or argue. Do not support any form of oppression.

[@essennagerry]

I've also noticed I learn things differently in a sense. I make some connections very fast and others very slow. The ones I make slowly, I think, are because I need more in dept info and understanding a bit beyond the layed out concept or maybe digging into the basics of said concept to understand that layed out concept. While others around me don't need that. And the teachers are a little baffled by my basic questions sometimes and don't see where my block is or what _more_ they need to say to help me get it. But I've come to embrace the way I in some aspects learn and think differently, I think if I embrace it and cater to it it'll become usefull. It's my way of metabolizing knowledge, so why surpress it? So far it's pushe me to be braver to ask seemingly stupid questions, be more precise in my questions and also understand how others think better, so I can get what I need out of them and their knowledge.

[@endproductuser]

Your students are very fortunate. Thank you for these great lectures

[@siddhantparikh3260]

I just started this and got goosebumps at the end when he said, "Welcome to Psychology 230. We'll see you in a bit." About to binge watch this.

[@pattycake8563]

Peterson's the only lecturer I watch at normal speed. Thank you for enlightening us!

[@BlakeTelford82]

Can I just say who ever did the subtitles for this is a genius. They are word for word perfect 👌

[@carlydubbya7620]

I feel like I just found treasure! :0) Thank you so much for sharing this so generously.

[@jessieje8218]

I'm so grateful to receive an education on these FASCINATING topics from such a passionate, intelligent and sincere professor. Thank you for this!

[@wilsmeisterwilsmeister7362]

Never have i enjoyed and had the pleasure to be so fortunate as to be able to hear mr. Peterson speak his mind. My my what a joy it is.

[@alllowercase6277]

Just about to say...imagine having Jordan Peterson as your lecturer...but then suppose we ALL do with these KZbin videos. Just finished Biblical Series. Now gonna hit all these. It's truly groundbreaking. Thank You so much.

[@aminedrhourhi9311]

The way he articulate his ideas is sharply intelligent , it takes a golden intellect and a flexibility of neuro-processing of ideas words visions to reach this unique style of speech... what s intriguing is how easy he structure these brilliant talks that relate many fields of study matching synchronically psychology ... ''' JORDAN PETERSON is life changer ! ''

[@floso1916]

this is how university should be. Thank you for making this public! 🙏

[@benalioumaima6061]

Thank you for sparing the world your valuable time, your contribution is truly appreciated.

[@davestewart6704]

It is utterly amazing all of his lectures. Lessons and videos are free to watch. Podcasts etc. amazing can learn so incredibly much for free from this man

[@chrispysings]

I've already taken a Personality course in Psychology, but something tells me I'm going to learn a lot more listening to these lectures. What a gift.

[@lailachage]

I live in Brazil and I am so greatly happy for being able to watch your classes that I had to leave you a thank you comment here. :)

[@towelie5997]

I'm so glad this channel exists. As a notorious underachiever with great interest in psychology but at the time bound to hard labour, being able to take a class with such a living legend for free and in the comfort of my home is incredible. It sure is a crazy time we live in and i'm glad i haven't offed myself. Professor Peterson, please keep on making the world a better place by providing imense knowledge to this absolute absurd amount people! Greetings from europe, i hope your classes reach every corner known to man.

[@helenyates3951]

I truly honour and respect the effort and the courage Jordan brings to his professional work. I have only gratitude and humility for his true integrity and dedication to truth. Thank you so much....

[@tammy2855]

I wish I was in his class. What a man. So happy he exists and so grateful for his work.

[@marksilverstone2353]

The amount of "strange" vocabulary tell you a lot about the quality of this lectures, furthermore Mr. Peterson's class. Definitely so high and so admirable. The lecture was quiete amusing yet beneficial. Meanwhile I started to develop a fear that I may not for some reason complete listening and taking notes of all lectures. I believe that there is a tremendous benefit in listening to them while trying to learn and apply rather than to only enjoy. As Mr. Peterson's classes are really enjoying. Thanks a lot Sir.

[@schroedergustav5754]

IMO, this series is the best thing Dr. Peterson has ever done. This is his environment and he just thrives in it. Amazing lectures.

[@keeperofthehammer6795]

I'm in grade 12. Went to my school library and signed out a copy of Crime and Punishment because of Dr Peterson. 1 week later my VP comes into my class, sees me reading it, and now I'm his favorite.

[@consistentme22]

It's an honor and privilege to have a seat in your class professor. Thank you for this series of lectures.

[@PeterJansen]

Appreciate the time and effort you put into putting all of your lectures and other videos onto youtube. Fantastic stuff, keep it up.

[@leftyalone1]

Dearest Dr. Peterson, Your excellent lectures have given the final bit of courage my Nichiren Buddhist practice did not to climb that mountain of fear and see over the top. You have changed my entire life and that of my family and friends as well. When we change from within we change our environment and you have given me the self knowledge to do just that. I have no idea how to thank you unless my assurance of going on to be all I can be and help others along the way qualifies as a payback. Thank you so much for MAPS OF MEANING. Your knowledge is life changing and of course world changing.

[@railrazetdinov9654]

It is difficult to express gratitude to the professor for all the work that he does and makes it freely available. Thank you so much from a small town in the middle of the Russia

[@abbamanic]

Staggering insight and a great intellect. I listen transfixed. It's so easy to overlook the obvious in life.

[@gary_michael_flanagan_wildlife]

This series has helped me so much in understanding those who oppose my political views. I wish every politician would watch this to be better in handling their rivals.

[@Hunter-xc5ry]

Love you Mr. Peterson. It has been years you've been a part of my life here. I owe you much.

[@ayec.u.1248]

Thank you, Dr Peterson. I am 33, from Romania, and you have changed my life!!

[@saif0316]

I'm not even taking this class and its not my major but I love his lecture and have gotten allot of value out of them.

[@Bella-cz6od]

There is a whisper of all things true coming through your words and I feel whatever that is, wakes up in me; and I come home to myself. Thank you Dr. Peterson

[@personofinternet682]

This is a beautiful statement that meaningfully summarizes Dr. Peterson's work. Thank you!

[@hollymay7686]

Imagine taking his classes and being taught by him. Wow what an amazing thing that would be. We love you Dr Peterson. Love 🇬🇧

[@dylandavis3702]

This man has given me an education that I didn't have the option to aquire in my youth and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for your generosity and wisdom Mr. Peterson.

A internet é maravilhosa, sem ela passaria por toda a vida sem a oportunidade de assistir as aulas desse professor brilhante. Parabéns Jordan Peterson, seus ensinamentos tem contribuído muito para o meu dia a dia, conhecimento altamente aplicável.

[@egomaniac7230]

I'm tearing up out of shock! This is a treasure. This is the most valuable thing I've ever found on the internet!

[@CambridgeLSD]

Mr. Peterson please accept my deepest respect and gratitude. In my somewhat humble opinion, I genuinely believe that you are the greatest man alive today. Thank you for your enormous contributions to our history and development as human species and thank you on behalf of anyone who has had the pleasure of hearing you speak. Words can not describe what I am trying to put across in this little comment in the waters of KZbin. You and Jacque Fresco (RIP, 2017) are an inspiration for generations to come. I thank the eternal universe for bringing about minds like yours and his.

[@matiashamalainen]

Thank you for posting this class online! I live in Finland and I’m a freshman in a university studying music education and music therapy. I think I’ll spend my time listening to you rather than my actual teachers back here.. Heck, I’m even considering giving you some money for the lectures via Patreon! Keep up the good work, and spread the knowledge!

[@noahhecker6672]

A free college course? By Jordan Peterson? I couldn’t have asked for a better KZbin playlist

[@yochevedbrachasimon4979]

Timeless, priceless, clear and beautiful. Thank you Dr. Peterson

[@ladyfaye8248]

Wow, well, I have been watching many of Jordon's videos and podcasts in recent weeks, and, now I have 'attended this lecture' I feel enthused to attend the whole course, even if it is just from home, mostly in my armchair, and I'm way to old to be an actual 'student' ! This man is of outstanding intellect, insight and integrity. I feels like an honour to attend to his work.

[@ZirkzankXyphrolenmir]

I wish my (recently completed) course on Games Development was as useful as this one on Personality. I feel like university has given me nothing (or not enough) now I am learning A LOT more on KZbin which is actually valuable and interesting. Thanks JBP. Also this hasn't to put me into another 50k student debt, which is nice.

[@JohnSmith-fk4yj]

Zirkzank Xyphrolenmir The fact that you can't just study in your free time then sign up to a university for just assessment, shows a massive flaw in universities. Why do you need to attend their lectures and tutorials if you can do it on you own and learn from books or online? Because it's all about money, and they wouldn't make much if people had the choice to self study and be assessed at a predetermined date. They need to maintain the illusion that you have to have professors, administration and buildings in order to learn something.

[@Cristian90312]

Is the one about games development available on KZbin ?

[@lockey820]

I am humbled. Thank you, good professor.

[@Sogeki06]

Thank you for sharing the course online Dr. Peterson. I'll rewatch it until I can finally understand myself and act it out in the world.

[@happylion18]

MY NEW FAVORITE SERIES ON KZbin
