August 03, 2019 20:00 - 26 minutes - 61.9 MB

What does petting a cat when you encounter one even mean? How does that relate to suffering, the limitation of Being and what we can practically do about it, to solve our own conflicts?

July 23, 2019 00:13 - 41 minutes - 95 MB

This may be one of Jordan Peterson's most contentious rules in 12 Rules for Life. Rule 11 provides many thought-provoking ideas on the patriarchy, the effect our softened world of comfortable living has had on children and adults alike, the psychological differences between men and women and much more, such getting inside the minds of terrorists and mass murderers. If you are sensitive to new ideas and get emotional when people challenge you intellectually, then you are someone who should DE...

July 12, 2019 23:40 - 41 minutes - 95.5 MB

Jordan Peterson's Rule 10 demonstrates the severity of hiding the monster in the closet, AKA not acknowledging the insidious problems that fester within us. Rule 10 contains a strong presence of practicality and familiarity within it as most will find they can take something tangible from this rule and apply it to improve their relationships immediately. It does this by identifying common pitfalls of how our relationships fall apart whilst revealing how we can maneuver through this chaos int...

RULE 8: TELL THE TRUTH, OR AT LEAST DON'T LIE | 12 RULES FOR LIFE BOOK ANALYSIS (JORDAN PETERSON)

April 09, 2019 22:50 - 37 minutes - 85.7 MB

Rule 8 of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life teaches us the utility and danger of truth and lie and it's very serious consequences to not only your own character, but the character and behaviour of those around you. Peterson exemplifies that 'truth' isn't just about the way that we communicate with others, but how we interact with ourselves when faced with the moral conundrum of truth or lie. It is this daily choice that will dictate your propensity towards heaven or hell.  Click here to G...

RULE 7: PURSUE WHAT IS MEANINGFUL NOT WHAT IS EXPEDIENT| 12 RULES FOR LIFE BOOK ANALYSIS (JORDAN PETERSON)

March 07, 2019 22:23 - 45 minutes - 104 MB

Jordan Peterson's Rule 7 is one of the darkest most confronting chapters in this book. 'Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient' gives you the opportunity to interact with the most vengeful sources of suffering and evil as it reflects back on you.

RULE 6: SET YOUR HOUSE IN PERFECT ORDER BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE THE WORLD | 12 RULES FOR LIFE BOOK ANALYSIS (JORDAN PETERSON)

March 06, 2019 09:35 - 27 minutes - 64.3 MB

Rule 6 of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life stands as one of the most profound and powerful chapters in this book. It forces you to engage in brutal honest self reflection. It forces you to critically analyse your responsibilities to yourself and the world around you. Or rather, understand that before you aim to fix the world, you MUST fix yourself. Thereby fixing YOUR world (yourself), you fix THE world. Stand tall, take responsibility and set your house in perfect order.   Click here to...

RULE 5: DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN DO ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU DISLIKE THEM | 12 RULES FOR LIFE BOOK ANALYSIS (JORDAN PETERSON)

February 26, 2019 09:14 - 59 minutes - 136 MB

The principles in this rule should be communicated to every future and current parent. I almost titled the video, 'parenting 101' (I may still change it to that). However Peterson demonstrates to the reader how the information in this rule transcends the act of parenting. Practical examples and very thought provoking content on human behaviour and psychology are the bedrock of Rule 5. It's hard to articulate into words how powerful and important this chapter is. IMPORTANT: Please let me know...

February 16, 2019 23:01 - 35 minutes - 80.5 MB

 Jordan B Peterson's Rule 4 show's us the value and utility of comparison and how productive and/or destructive it can be. It does this by taking the reader on a journey of self discovery, with many practical self examining mini exercises on how you can set a higher standard for yourself. Rule 4 also encapsulates one of Peterson's most significant ideas on the dire importance of one's aim in life.  If you prefer reading here is the written summary of this rule.

RULE 1: STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH YOUR SHOULDERS BACK | 12 RULES FOR LIFE ANALYSIS (JORDAN PETERSON)

January 16, 2019 00:54 - 37 minutes - 34.1 MB

A summary and interpretation of 12 Rules For Life - An Antidote To Chaos, by Jordan B. Peterson. 12 Rules For Life will summate many facets of the human experience and how to navigate through the chaos and order of life. So many people (especially my demographic) are lacking a structure of how to navigate through the world, create their identity and find their purpose within it. This isn’t just a problem with younger demographics, but we are seeing more and more middle aged men and women los...
