Here's How to Motivate Yourself

Published 2023-01-23
Applications for Ralston College's MA in the Humanities for 2023 are now open. Dr. Peterson does not teach at Ralston. www.ralston.ac/humanities-ma

Ralston College presents the inaugural lecture of its Chancellor, Dr Jordan B Peterson, delivered at one of the most iconic sites of the ancient world, the Library of Celsus in Ephesus. This ancient city was the birthplace of Heraclitus, the philosopher who first articulated the idea of the Logos, and the final resting place of St. John, who uses that same Greek word to name the Divine Word. In his lecture, Dr Peterson argues that the intelligibility of the world depends on the patterned regularities that are superordinate to our immediate perception; this underlying order - which, from the Greeks onward, we have called Logos - is both the horizon that enables human perception and the basis for the possibilities that we realize in the world. Such an account of our intrinsic, rational, and self-determining capacity constitutes a challenge to the assumptions of many prevailing schools of thought - such as behaviorism, rigid empiricism, and postmodernism - and lays the burden of personal ethics, and the formation of a good society, squarely on the shoulders of the individual.

Dr Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: utm.io/ueSFn

    Honestly, I don't know how anyone could formulate essential concepts of our civilization with such grace that anyone can understand. It's not even praise at this point, it's mere shock.

    What's great with (almost) every single videos posted on Jordan B Peterson Clips is that it often relates so much to what I'm going through every single day! I, and I hope many others, can always take at least one lesson from whatever Jordan Peterson is talking about!
  • As my 54th birthday closes in on me, I’ve decided I really want to attend your lectures! Thank you for sharing your gift with so many! Your insight has been instrumental in my forward movement.
  • This idea is brilliant. A person Picking one thing to pursue in life and understanding their “Why” for that goal is one of the most meaningful things to do in life. That’s because what is most valuable to that person is incredibly important to pursue. It makes a persons life way more meaningful than pursuing the multiplicity of different goals/values at the same time because YOU ONLY HAVE TO FOCUS ON ONE THING. Instead of worrying yourself to death and feeling like you’re missing out on everything else in life. We do become more productive, feel more meaning in life, and become more creative while “constrained” to one goal because we have to be disciplined and creative within those parameters. Like the saying “you can only break the rules once you’ve mastered them”. Then you become unstoppable because of the momentum you have created and more comes your way in life.
  • Oh this is excellent. It explains why so many are dead inside now days.
  • I love synchronized experiences. Thank You! JP! I needed this, exactly. Today. Incredible. Beautiful. Message received.
  • I love everything you do. You do. You have been very respectful about the Crowder DW fight.
  • Somebody once told me, “Live your life like it’s a story worth telling your grandkids.” John Lennon said, “The dream you dream alone is just a dream. The dream you share is reality.” Reality is scary… (I tend to get lost in the happily ever after, before we even have the chance to play getting to know you.) I wonder if Pageau, has a story…🤔
  • As much as I love to learn & absorb the many deep & wonderful insights of Dr. J.P., I must comment instead, on the beauty of this venue! The lighting is great, but the enormity of the stone & architecture is just magnificent. What a treasure it must be to hear this great orator in this historic place. Thank you for sharing this.
  • @juliepmagic1
    GOLD :) Such wisdom is soul-filling... thank you for being the beacon of light out in the sometimes wild, not so light world xx

    I'm a young anesthesiologist and I know that I'm not even a quarter of your intelligence. I'm moving to become a medical director so I'm watching a lot of your videos to guide me.
  • @matomijic9933
    If I may, listening to JBP always leaves me with the impression of watching a carefully orchestrated firework of ideas - that's how good he is at the act of communication and spreading of knowledge.
  • My deepest thanks to you for all the very important information that you have been providing in mass to us in the society at large,, for free ! It is so very valuable! You are making a very valuable change and educating millions in the world! My deepest thanks to you! That seems a very feeble thing to say for all the amazing education that you have provided for so many !!!
  • Thank you very much Mr. Peterson, and thank God you make good use of the charismas you have received.
  • @Razear
    I've never liked the idea of motivation because there are a myriad of reasons that you can generate to attempt to excuse yourself from taking action on something, whereas discipline forces you to get these things done despite not feeling like you want to because it's built on habit rather than emotion.
  • Dear Dr, my dream would be to have a chance to attend one class like that!! I read stoic books imagining myself on that scenario!! You are the best ever!
  • I have never has any psychological or mental or even really life issues, my life is great but Jordan Petersons videos are still mind blowing
