This is the most difficult in my long career but it has been acutely refining. Fighting against corporate healthcare to provide for your patient and families end of life needs has reminded me why and how to fight.

"Do not use you illness as an excuse. As soon as you do that, you can't tell the difference between the illness and your character. So don't let it turn you into a victim." As someone who has had a fair number of health issues/disability in their life, and particularly currently, this is the most succinct articulation of something I've always felt to be true. This is so even though I've certainly failed to live up to a great number of times. I also would not have been able to put the "why" so clearly myself. If there are any healthcare professionals reading this, I hope you also understand the essential truth of the idea in helping move your patients towards where they need to be mentally, if they aren't already. If you allow patients to lapse unchallenged into victimhood, or be institutionalised, or somehow infantilised by illness, (perhaps out of good intentions, convenience, or to fit the internal narrative you have for them ) then you are helping them to lose their best selves. Also, parents of ill or disabled children need to know that this is probably the most helpful idea you can transmit to your child, in both your words and behaviour towards them.

[@ianajkovacs9944]

I am at times confused and angry about how my mother chose to keep me ignorant of what happened to me as a child. I was 4 years old when my sister and her BF, our neighbor accross the st. Got me to go thru the milk box a 1ft by 1ft wooden square inside the brick wall next to the side or rear entrance into a home. I saw and played with some toys. Metal toy cars.for five min i forgot about my mission while i was captivated by these cars. I came too and asked for 1 as my reward but was denied as they were her brothers. It wasnt quite two weeks later when my sister confronted me after her bfs brother had set some traps to signal wether or not his cars, (models) were moved around. My sis made me promise not to enter their home again to pmay with those cars. So i went into 20 other homes in search of those very same cars. Now on an unrelated note... my parents used to have loud fights. When it looked as tho my father was moving in to hit my mother of which i witnessed just once and that left a scar in my mind so whenever i witnessed the fighting and his tell tale move towards her was my signal to get in between them as no matter the pain i get it compared little to watching my mother get struck down again . This resulted in my being knocked unconscious every time I stepped up to him ordering him to stop . I ciuld only recall my mother screaming. "you've killed him" and this was how I knew I was successful in my attempts to dissuade him. (To explain about my fathers violent tendencies... he was a freedom fighter in 1952 Hungary where his same underground group of Hungarians against The S.S. removing Jewish people from their homes and putting them into cattle cars at the train stations to be taken to camps and so my then 17 year old father would risk all by helping in anyway to smuggle people out and away of the reach of the german S.S. by escorting many accross the border into Switzerland to freedom. That same group contributed towards chasing the Soviet army out of Hungary in 1952. While in University in 1956 the Sovites and 2 million troops invaded Hungary in a surprise invasion which overran all defending citizens. During a Soviet army assembly at the University of Budapest my father and his group protested the soviet invasion whereupon they were immediately arrested and sentenced to 6 months in a soviet gulag. This is what changed my father as he told us this story every time he got drunk and stupid as he would describe in detail of how he lost almost every friend he had grown up with as the soviets would punish the prisoners by soaking them with fire hoses spraying cold water on them all as they were ordered to march in place until the light of day. At first they would help those that collapsed from exhaustion but that only made them more tired and in the morning my father told us how he saw his friends encased in solid ice as there would be several groups of men arm in arm and you could see the desperation in their faces as their bodies shown how they attempted to lift and hold each other up and there would be small groups of his friends frozen together . They also enjoyed torturing them one by one as he described how they had layed him down on top of the steal wire frame of a mattress with all the straw removed from within and chained him to it and there they took a pair of pliers and pulled off each of his finger nails and then the sick bastards would then wrap the same steal wire around his finger tips and his balls and attach the other end to a tank battery where they would shock him and others until they revealed all names of the others that helped them fight the Soviets. These were just a few descriptive stories that he would tell us as he would collapse after realizing what he was doing to his own children. He would sob for hours after or until he passed out. Yet every two or three weeks he would repeat. One morning after waking up after I was KO'd i walked downstairs to see my mom and i saw her crying while doing dishes. I took it upon myself to get us away from him. I ran down the street to a house that was at the end of Athabaska avenue that all the kids always said how an old rich man lived there. So this is why i went thru his milk bo where in his kitchen i went into the cutlery drawers and pulled out 2butter knives a few spoons a fork then I grabbed a small bundle of coupons and to me it appeared as tho i had a treasure so I ran out the back door and unknown to me the owner saw and followed me home. I went in to see her still crying but when she saw me her eyes lit up and i handed her the acquired the "pirates booty" i thought i had and told her to pack her bags that we were out of there! She started laughing and her mood switched to gladness . Tgen a poinding on our door. She opened it to view the angry man shouting while pointing at me. she put all his Property in his hands while explaining but she had to slam the door on the hardened man. The police showed up and they left laughing . It was a couple month later when some construction was taking place on our street as the storm ditches were being replaced with actual concrete storm drains that were to be installed under the street. My brother took me to the store with him and i just had to climb onto a set of three stacked pipes that were each as tall as i was and so on top of the third pipe on top the two bottom ones made my brother nervous as he told me so and I teased him cause i felt like a big man up there and i walked atop them unafraid yet i did not see that same man attack me as all i can remember was seeing my brothers face changing into fear as he pointed behind me but all i saw was my hand clasping at empty air as in desperation while falling as I was trying to grab the sole puffy white cloud in the perfectly blue sky then darkness..... I remember pieces of the following events... the doctors chagrin as he was waving me by him. I becoming conscious after waking up on a cold stainless steal table in a low lit room but at that very same moment in time sharing that same instant I was elsewhere as I know as i was aware of being somewhere totally different from anything I had known as i was inside some structurally large building or Stadium that had many of these massive white columns that stretched up and disappeared into the fog or clouds that blocked the view of the ceiling and i was standing a few meters from this great and tall judges bench and there was a bearded man whom was wearing glasses that had just noticed me quietly standing there just staring up and around and i heard him kind of gifling as he made his way down from where he sat and he came out from behind his work dezk that was littered with many large book's some left open and atop each other. He was wearing ancient garb like the white tunics those ancient greeks and or romans wore or something like what John Belushi wore in animal house at that frathouse party, Toga party clothing. For one moment the bearded man just stood there as confused as i but then an air of familiarity came over me as he started to become farmiliar to me and just as I was puting it all together he raised his arms up high so as to offer me a hug but just asFelt inclined to accept his welcoming offer I heard my mothers lament as I heard her crying for Jesus to come and rescue me and for him to bring me to back to her arms. Thats when i felt the tears swelling and then as i looked to the man I noticed his arms fall to his sides, he was shaking his head in disbelief and from a smile to his frowning chagrin he raised an arm and I saw his finger pounting towards the closest column and i hearrd and felt tbis electrical charge coursing thru me that sounded exsactly like an Atari video game i played years later called..dungeons and dragons that when the games character i was playing (avatar but was actually just a square pixel dot) was attacked and captured by one of these four patrolling dragons. The sound that it made. the electronic feedback and with that suprisingly shocking sound i qas gone from that old mans site and plased as i felt it so as I kbew i was inside one of those columns at least inside tbat one column he pointed to. I FELT SO VERY COMFORTABLE.WELCOMEF WANTED. AND I SAW OTHER BLIPS OF ENERGY LIKE RED PUFFS OF CLOUDS MOVING ALONG FLOATING IN ZERO G. THEN ANOTHER PUFFY CLOUD NITICED ME AND IT LIT UP AND STARTED TO COME TOWARDS ME BUG BEFORE IT REACHED ME I WAS ELSEWHERE....... YOUL HAVE TO CATCH THE REST OF THIS STORY ELSEWHERE AS I HAVE A PRESSING ENGAGEMENT I MUST MAKE FOR..HMMM. MUCH LIKE THE NEXT CHAPTER ..EVEN I EXPERIENCED DURING THIS AFTER LIFE ..RATHER DURING DEATH EXPERIENCE. ......UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN OR IN SOME MONTHS LOOK FOR MY NOVEL.... AND ..

Not to say they are the only ones who do that! Just a small piece of an incredibly important puzzle.

[@mathewhill5556]

@@Lalala-fz2ci I disagree with this sentiment. Information in text format is not superior to audio format. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I find it hard to pay attention to most fictional books in audiobook format, conversely I have a hard time paying attention to non-fiction books in text format. For intellectual material text has one huge advantage of being able to highlight specific quotations, or sections. Audiobook format has many advantages over traditional text. The primary being "found time". People no longer have to sit and focus on just reading. They can learn while driving, cleaning, exercising. Normal day to day tasks for many people have been transformed from drudgery into enriching quality time. I have dyslexia. While I excel at reading comprehension regardless of my disability audiobook format is much easier for me to digest. As a people we have listened much longer then we have read. Listening uses a different part of the brain, and there is evidence that people absorb information better when it is presented to them. I love to read actually books. The smell of the book, the tranquility of a quite comfortable place to get lost. The best moments come when you realize you're not even reading anymore. Somehow the words fall away and all you are left with is your imagination. There is beauty and magic in those moments; but it is foolish to believe that people get anything less from audio books.

I even tried reading multiple books at the same time made it through 3 books of other people and I got turned off at Russell Brand's 12 step's and just watched Jordan from there on and this very basic simple summary was what I wanted to hear. Everything else I watch was from a reality that seemed a luxury to practice in the real world. This was simple clean and straight forward.

"Don't say things that make you weak" Not things that make you appear weak or that sound weak but things that make you weak; as if our words have the power to strengthen or weaken us.

[@lukesalazar9283]

Thats the cool thing. Words do have that power

[@maricamaas5555]

Words are powerful indeed; spiritually bring about life or death in our own and others' lives... Physically blood pressure goes up when telling a lie; this being the autonomous nervous system's response to deceitful words not matching up with reality.

[@soare5182]

Yes, yes, yes! The truth is the antidote of suffering.

[@reallyryn]

So many people are learning valuable things from you Dr. Peterson. Keep up the good work.

[@vernacote2219]

Wish I could give this video a thousand thumbs up. . Loved it and shared it.. thanks for bringing it to us. .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidgrant7869]

I'm gonna tryn make this as short and direct as possible. 5 some odd years ago I asked myself, "what is a fool that realizes he's a fool?" Yes, I was impulsive, somewhat toxic, trying to shake polysubstance abuse, extremely disconnected from family and community through a lack of situational awareness. nowadays, I strive only to be responsible with my free will, get my kids back, and set goals to make the best possible scenario for future generations. Your work, Dr Peterson, shows me I'm on a good path with noble focus. There's so much more I could disclose but this field isn't quite suitable. I endeavor to shadow and improve upon your work to further these goals. The familial unit I came from is completely decimated into apathy and objectivism. This arena is my only way back into life and progress as a productive member of society. Please, sir, if you can find the time, touch base with me. Any hour, any day. I care not how grandiose this request comes across, I have to try. Good work, sir, for this Mississippi anomaly grows from your seed of light. Y'all have fun with that pun and stay smiling :)

[@MatthewHixson]

I have told truth, and truth has been told to me... it hurts so much. And I have spent nights awake thinking about the truth. The truth is excruciating...but it's worth it.

[@kendricknrapthap6827]

We need you as a leader during these times dr Jordan Peterson I'll pray for you and get well soon .

Rule 13: stay away from KZbin comments.

I'm scrolling down before the video even starts lol

Rule 13: If the left tells lies about a supreme court appointment, let them get away with it, because it's not like they'd ever do it again if they're rewarded the first time.

[@prometheusunbound1781]

Yes I am shadow banned most of the time unless my comment mentions shadow banning.

[@Ounouh]

No!

[@nonobrobro3310]

This guys background story and ability to work through it all is truly inspirational. I'm going to stop complaining about my life now

[@margoabady9767]

An extraordinary expose of what It is to be a gigantic influence through the u tube experience! Thank you Dr,Peterson for being as selfless and inspiring. I am very appreciative of the way you have insured education to live. Your ideas of making education Come to Life is a magnificent way to show all that the meaning of life is to live by truth. I just purchased Crime & Punishment and have shown it to six people. They claimed that they will be reading it too! P.S The library in the Bronx did not have the book on it’s shelf. But,

[@EvilUSEmpire]

Thank you Dr Peterson for sharing so many amazing video which are the result of your never ending search for truth. Nothing is more enjoyable and fun that listening to you

[@lesterclaypool1]

I heard everything you said about illness, Dr. Peterson. Going from caregiver to dependant has been an extra special mind fuck, for me. Thank you for putting some things into perspective for us.

[@TwennyGeee]

Jordan Peterson is a modern day prophet.

[@rexaustin2885]

Modern day postmodernist.

[@MasterofFace]

Both and they are both bad

[@nicholas1460]

Not even close.

[@EFV2000]

Funny thing is, JP is able to articulate what most of us already know. It's not like he's telling us foreign ideas.

[@nicholasgreenway610]

SHHHH are you trying to get him crucified??

[@abhishekjha5305]

When he said " Clear conscience is better than being happy" I regretted him not being around me when I was growing up. ❤❤❤❤

[@lornasalzman4565]

You are a prophet in our time and a dangerous man for many. But you are an inspiration to many of us, and your articulation of problems that I grapple with has given me incredible confidence. In particular your understanding of the imperative of free speech and how its suppression endangers society is, for me, the most important part of your superb insights. You are helping to bring about a convergence of people and beliefs around the crucial issues of our day. Your influence is going to be global and central to the preservation of society and civilization and the planet. My heartfelt thanks.

[@tender4suret4s14]

Love you Jordan, keep up the good work.

[@devans911]

I have only recently discovered Jordan Peterson. I don't really care who is siting across from him, I enjoy listening to Dr. Peterson.

[@Jirettlav]

I love you JBP

[@metathynk9400]

Has made many impacts on myself as well 💙🙏🏼

Great conversation. Great questions. Loved the interview!

[@crin912]

Dr. Peterson, thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. It would be amazing if one day you could come to South America.

Damn… Jordan is going places! Thanks so much for interviewing him. He has so many answers. ❤

[@neeratron]

Lewis is now my favorite interviewer

[@AnnaLVajda]

The truth for many is that life is suffering. I used to believe there was a cure for every malady but now I perceive the suffering as the human condition. My Dad used to say "happiness is a state of minimal regret" most of the time is just suffering though.

[@YouTubeUtah]

Awesome mind... dare I say... a mind of "greatness."

[@kyarimaresuki]

Listening about firstly his daughter then how good his son was throughout their childhoods was painful and moving. I'm glad they taught her to not be a victim, though. That sounds so cruel nowadays but it's the worst thing to make yourself into, particularly when ones' disability "just is", there is no undoing and no fault. I have a disability and went to a support group as a kid. I left it because it made me feel worse rather than to become strategic and improve my life. I learned early on to not make my problem into something worse. We should learn to cope as best as we can and make the most of our lives.

[@C_R_O_M________]

I really liked this interview! I think it was very authentic.

[@ingridrodriguez7380]

I've been learning sooooo much from Jordan, such a brilliant and courages person.

[@eldritchpalmerable]

No man’s land: that idea helped me solve a dream (sort of a nightmare) that I have had since I was little. Wondering aimlessly in desert-like, (un)familiar place where familiar faces crop up but I cannot make a connection. Have always been terrified by this. Somehow I completely missed it but the interpretation is quite evident. It is the lack of aim, lack of goal, lack of direction in life. Thank you

[@cliffordgesmundo7923]

No wasted words for Mr Peterson.

[@david6ravy]

What a lovely human being.

[@Mychannelverona]

Thank you, Dr. Peterson!

So inspiring! Thankyou professor Peterson. X
