Let’s jump straight in! Who Is Jordan Peterson?ĭr.

There’s so much I learned in our conversation that I’ve never heard him say before. I’m telling you, this episode is eye-opening, even for those of you who, like me, have already heard him speak or read his books. Jordan also has some surprising things to teach us about marriage, discipline, resentment, and memory. In part one of this two-part post, we’ll dive into the first half of the episode and learn about Jordan’s marriage of 50 years, and how to start opening yourself up to what you want in life. This interview ended up going an hour longer than we planned - almost two and a half hours in total! The entire conversation with Jordan was too captivating to cut it short. He’s now back with a new book titled Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life. His previous book, 12 Rules for Life : An Antidote to Chaos, was a New York Times bestseller and mega-hit around the world. Jordan has published over 100 scientific papers that have transformed our modern understanding of personality. His lectures have been viewed by hundreds of millions of people online. He is a Canadian Professor of Psychology, known for teaching mythology to lawyers, doctors, and business people, and for helping his clinical clients manage depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Abraham Lincoln said, “I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.” And Viktor Frankl said, “Everything can be taken from a man but the last of the human freedoms: to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.”
