Hello ... I just wanted you to know ... Atlas holds up the universe, not the earth. Actually, Atlas is pushing the heavens away.

[@alexandraadams2070]

I've got to write that down! Thank you!

[@chicoloco7108]

"Discovering your own errors is always extremely painful, especially those errors that you are in love with" that's a very telling and potent point one that I can certainly relate too.

[@mylesfarias9]

Love to see his confidence in having an answer for every question

[@nuclear_AI]

I discovered these teachings from Jordan roughly 3 years ago following a nervous breakdown they changed my life

[@blakedantin8282]

This clip is amazing. God bless you both!!!

[@nate9198]

Basically like the concept of creating SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)

[@kettlebellcarnivore-vr5cw]

Did I ever need to hear this. Perfect timing. Thanks for this.

[@patricklight1433]

Thank you! 🙏

BEAUTIFUL conversation. Love jordan. Always.

Thank you Chris

Great interview Chris

[@housemusichistory]

Great points well made as per usual! Freshly shaven JP is looking SHARPE! Love that blue jacket too 💫 Thanks for the snippet Chis 🫶🏼

[@jameshay8595]

These two gentlemen are at the top of my list. I learn from both and draw motivation from both also.

[@surprise8864]

How many of us hv started something but didnt complete it and when the result day comes and we fail it hurts . Now remember the pain and make sure u dont feel that way ❤❤

[@DylanOle]

I really needed this

[@raycharlestothebs]

I could listen to these two talk for days

[@TheDayOneOOne]

Chris, show more if your iner world, so we can follow more easily. And keep the influence!

[@garethgare9404]

Man Jordan explains this so constructively. When you dont meet your lofty ideal the feelings on inadequacy can be a bit depressing.

[@adnanafzal9684]

Great talk.

[@JSVillatoro]

Great video, although it was frustrating that often Chris could not finish his thought without Mr. Peterson starting to answer midway

[@Razear]

The first step to acknowledging your own insufficiencies is to drop your ego. It's the #1 impediment to achieving progress. It's also a prerequisite for asking seemingly "stupid" questions.

Jordan petterson is just a brilliant communicator and wise man. About the Mathew principal, would anyone agree on what he says

[@stranger.3112]

DUDDDDEEE this is so fkin valuable. I know exactly what I gotta do after this, I gotta lower my ideal as it is creating resistance which I don't want. I'm struggling with the fear of failure against my ideal, which I can't reach as I don't have the tools to reach that at my current level. It paralyzes me. Jordan Peterson did two things from his explanation of exponential growth curve. 1. decreased my fear of failure as even though my small increments are shameful, it's still progress. 2. solved the issue of my uncertainty as even though small increments don't show fast results, I can still be certain that the compounded outcome would be exponential growth.

[@jl9205]

I like hearing about young JBP, the partying, dancing grad student.

Which episode is this from? If there was that info in the description, I'd go find that episode (or eagerly await it).

[@DepthWA]

A hyperlink for the Full Episode is pinned at the top of the comments. (If you watch this video to the end, Chris Williamson mentions the full Podcast and provides the opportunity to watch it)

Jordan's socks are so cuteee! 😂❤

[@zarinaalborti4761]

Hello. Chris first of all thank you for this episode. I want to say that everything is possible in this life. Jordan says exactly what one should do. It works always. One could rise up from the bottom to the top. Let´s talk I will explain you with my own example. Also would like to tell that another speaker that talked about genes and social status was wrong. I can proove it. We should always study, be persistant and act in balance between good analysis and risk. People should know that everything is possible and we always have a choice. Send you both my sincere gratitude from Moscow!

[@NonstopWarriorr]

Goals and dreams are hard work. Avoid easy or quick happiness... Your brain wont want to do anything uncomfortable when its being over stimulated

[@KnoLove]

Right

[@Lantanana]

As far as happiness is concerned, instead of being happy when you succeed (although that definitely makes you happy), if you can learn to enjoy the process, almost every day of your life is pleasurable. You can decide to be happy regardless.

[@ZM-dm3jg]

"Many people believe that happiness is the point of life, and those people are idiots" ~Jordan Peterson

[@Eudaimonia239]

Being grateful and content with what you have is a key, but also striving for a better version of yourself in all parts of life is equally important

[@Lantanana]

@@Eudaimonia239 Yes. Not saying not to strive, just saying happiness is not only that 1 instant when you have a special success. It is through the entire process.

[@being_tra]

if you can't get what you want, you must teach yourself to want what you can get.

[@alexwall9332]

JP has become the modern day Epictetus

[@killerbeuk]

Jordan Peterson always forgets mentioning enjoying and having fun and satisfaction while working on your goal. Being very passionate about the topic produces the Christian Ronaldos of this world. Without that the effort will fail...

[@SchrodingersPlatypus]

David goggins wouldn't agree with you

[@Tucanazo69]

You rarely have fun tbh

[@NonstopWarriorr]

Depends what having fun is? If it means going to get drunk or binge watching a tv show on Netflix then that is a bad idea because thats an escape from reality not fun

[@user-zh4re3cv9t]

@@NonstopWarriorr Hi Chris, You fail to se my point. Fun to me is not pointless and limitless hedonism, just the fun and satisfaction of for instance Ronaldo felt playing soccer say 30 years ago with his childhood mates. I saw a lot of videos by JP and he always fails to mention this joy. Listening to him it is all about hard work, sacrifice, discipline and being conscientious. There is a huge lack in that: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!" Of course best policy always is put a little work into the play and vice versa....

[@lucabaki]

You need to source pleasure from doing the right thing aka not sinning aka living the good life. That pleasure is so much better than the short term pleasure of junk food and all that other stuff.

[@guardianwaldo]

Im tired of setting myself right, i dont care they can come to me my plan now is to go find a place grow food live without a women that is incapable of loving me, take care of myself serve the world not society or money and if someone says hey your not paying money to live this perfect healthy useful lifestyle, they will disappear i will make a better world and i wont give in to a poisoned world. Im no longer changing myself to be better the world will find my resolve

I am now against society you find me in the wild

You made a typo in your video title, Achieve 😅

[@ocho33]

So Chris are you working directly for Peter Thiel or just unknowingly 😏

[@ozonius_6859]

I am a nice guy and thats where i need to develop

[@abcdeeeeff]

But the real problem is, once we get to know about our stupidy, our weaknesses, our lack of knowledge about the world and opportunities in it we directly go down to severe depression and hopeless zone. Atleast that's what happening to me if not with others. Once we realise our own condition we get directly into depression.

[@user_xsr]

the problem is… i dont have one. now how to fix that idk

[@akshmsra]

I will do one push per like

[@lorenzopietrapiana4707]

hmm but "wanting what you get" is not a bad thing , its accepting what you have, your destiny, your limits . its wisdom. Inner Citadel idea makes it sound too negative

[@mariusxmeier2417]

I used to be a big Peterson fan. But more and more I am hearing some undertones in what he is saying that do no resonate with me. There is a harshness to him that I now perceive to be unnecessary, even or especially in the pursuit of greatness.

[@jayhxmo]

Typo in the title: acheive → achieve

[@TheBlueOrRed-Pill]

You have too much time on your hand to bring this insignificant error to people's attention. Don't sweat the small stuff

[@TheBlueOrRed-Pill]

You suppose to notice it & move on, not bring people's attention to it because it's insignificant to the message been convey. Stay focus

[@artemkoliada5703]

Dear Mr Peterson. I'm not sure you will see this BUT..)) Keep in mind that you have incorrect posture. Very probably you will have neck/head pain/discomfort/dizziness or you have already developed some. Proper sitting position + stretch + some excersises)

[@marquesjones3411]

Jordan’s suits are nexus level while his sock game is downright childish. Clearly a winning combination

[@user-ot3ef6mb8j]

Stay hard

[@redmoondesignbeth9119]

Goals? I set them and "something" shoots me off in another direction. At 71 I totally believe we live in a simulation. I have SO many stories. Back in 1981 I was losing my mind because I was dealing with a paranormal situation. To cope I hired a shrink....and I did a book of collages to help me cope. 40 years later the book reads like tarot of what is happening NOW. One part was about ancestors of Geronimo. ??? That was in 81. My son was born in 84...and HIS kids have Geronimo DNA.

[@sarab7794]

Is Jordan the person who said “give him hell” he seems like he is so wise and compassion-- heavy sarcasm btw! A sheep in a wolf clothing.

[@KensVideoSpot]

Individual responsibility as a concept loses credibility when advocates of individual responsibility refuse to acknowledge that external conditions are largely stacked against the individual, more than ever today. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of those advocating personal responsibility to acknowledge that they had it wayyyyyy easier than those they are speaking down to now. Jordan Peterson -- at his age, and coming from his generation of opportunity -- well, his spiel is the classic "born on third base and think you hit a triple." (And then telling others that it's your fault that you aren't on third base.)

I failed on every possible level and i totally know i did nothing wrong. For a time i didnt understand why and bitched about it i thought it was an evil universe like literally seeing others doing it worse than me and still rakingi in...But it actually was a benevolent cosmos teaching me. Teaching to give all material endevors up and now i'm completely free from the burden of this world. (Most particularly women. I was wondering why the fk am i chasing this money shit? Ofc to get a gal. But why the fk do i want a gal soo badly? And there was no answer...it's just as an arbitrary bullshit as wanting a febergè egg or somethin...then i realised that i was fool all along. Women are the very things that pull men down from spirit to matter. Maya=mother=matter=matrix. Why you think it's called that? It's wmn who make men chase after money and infecting him with materialism. That's the real escaping the matrix in case you wondered. Who's with me? No one? Yeeea thought so...women are the very symbol of this world of this matrix once you give up on them totally it's game up you are free forever and beyond...)

[@gerardo9052]

Agree totally

[@bynumjimmy]

To the hard working people who did your best and stayed out of trouble, but still had the world crumble around you. Please keep in mind Jordan Peterson thinks you're "stupid and wilfully ignorant." In other words, it's your fault. Even if you were a victim of a drunk driver, tornado, cancer, etc. He is wrong. Keep doing what you can. Don't be ashamed. Best wishes.

[@deanjackson625]

Jordan Peterson thought process is somewhat not important he not supposed to practice in Canada and he isn't a outdated conservative and he not. Take lightly with what he saying and only apply what you have opportunity to make changes. Remember in a relationship a woman has checked out of the marriage and relationship for 6 months to 1 or 2 years and nothing is going to change her mind and feelings about working on the marriage and unfortunately accountability and responsibility in the day to day friendships/roommates marriage and affair bye the wife is the nail in your coffin and marriage counseling is not going to help a broker marriage and only delays divorce. Men unfortunately need to protect themselves with a prenuptial agreement before marriage and relationship with their future wife , Remember marriage is a business agreement and woman look at it as a money 💰 grab they get the house and kid's and didn't want to invest their own money in the relationship never give 100% percent and accept less than she contributed 100 percent contributed money and stability and not playing games.
