It will give you a new perspective and a modern understanding of your creativity, competence, and personality.

The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

What does a golden rope in a dying man's dream have to do with the person in your life you can no longer reach? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson sets out after three questions that turn out to be the same question, what is a man, what is a woman, and what is the highest thing a person can aim at, and pursues them through the strangest doorway imaginable: the despair of the most successful author who ever lived, who had everything a human being could want and still could not find a reason to stay alive. From Tolstoy's vision of something infinite suspended above the abyss, to a treacherous brother who remade himself into the founder of a nation, Peterson builds toward a practical answer with startling reach. And in the most moving moment of the night, his wife Tammy steps on stage to tell the true story of how she won back a sister she was losing, using nothing more than the one thing almost no one is willing to do. What begins as a lecture on identity ends as an instruction manual for getting back the people you thought were gone for good.

This lecture was filmed in San Antonio, Texas, on December 12, 2024.

Why Listening Beats Every Argument

What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with a story you don't know you're telling? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson sets out to answer a single question, what is and should be the story of your life, and arrives somewhere most people never look: the ancient account of a people escaping slavery, and a shepherd who becomes a leader only once he has grown up. Along the way Peterson argues that tyranny is not first a political fact but a personal one, playing out in your own head, your marriage, and your kitchen before it ever reaches a nation, and that the thing you aim at silently decides everything you are able to see. What begins as a walk from one point to another turns into a map of how an ordinary person is called out of the desert, and a surprisingly practical answer to the oldest complaint of all, that you know what you should do and cannot make yourself do it.

This lecture was filmed in Los Angeles, California, on May 15, 2024.

What Moses Reveals About Your Life

What does the oldest sibling feud in the Bible have to do with the argument you keep having with the person you love most? In this lecture, delivered improbably in the city of sin, Jordan Peterson takes the story of a twin who cheats his own brother out of everything and uses it to map a single idea he calls aiming up. Starting from something as ordinary as a fight with your spouse that never seems to resolve, Peterson descends, level by level, into what he argues is really going on underneath: a buried betrayal, a broken trust, and a choice between the desire to win and the harder work of peace. Along the way he explains why the cynic is not the intelligent one in the room, why the wealth of an entire nation rests on something as fragile as a handshake, and how a crook with no reason to hope becomes the father of nations. What he arrives at is not a sermon but a description, of the one decision available to you in any moment, no matter how far down you have fallen, and of the strange acceleration that begins the instant you make it.

This lecture was filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 19, 2024.

What The Story Of Jacob And Esau Teaches About Sibling Rivalry

What does the way your attention moves across a crowded restaurant have to do with why civilizations collapse? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson opens where you’d least expect a talk about God to begin—with Richard Dawkins, a problem in cognitive science, and the uncomfortable fact that there are infinitely many true things you could attend to and only a handful you ever do. From there he moves through why you’ll pay money to watch a villain on a screen, what a sleeping lion has to do with your paycheck, and why a man who spent seventy-five years in his father’s tent was the one who finally got the invitation. What he’s building toward isn’t an argument for belief in the conventional sense, but something stranger and much harder to dismiss: that you have already placed the wager, every single time you decided what was worth looking at. The only question left is what you’ve been aiming at all along without admitting it.

This lecture was filmed on March 4th, 2024, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

How To Become Someone People Rely On

What if the thought that just crossed your mind arrived the same way a prayer is answered? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson opens with a claim that sounds impossible and spends the next ninety minutes making it undeniable: that thinking is a kind of secularized prayer, that every insight you have ever had arrived more like a revelation than like a calculation, and that the direction you aim decides not only what you think but what you are able to see at all. From an ordinary argument with your wife, which Peterson uses to reveal something disturbing about the spirit in which you speak, he moves through a prophet alone in a cave, a man swallowed by the sea for staying silent, and two brothers and a rejected offering, building toward a single answer to the oldest question a person can ask. What faith turns out to be has almost nothing to do with belief in the way you were taught, and everything to do with a decision you are already making, every hour, whether you have noticed it or not.

What Happens When Good Men Say Nothing

What does a punk rock concert full of sneering nihilists have to do with the oldest question about how to live? In this lecture, the final numbers of a long tour, Jordan Peterson begins somewhere unexpected: a Ramones show decades ago, where a room full of people who claimed life was meaningless could not stop moving to the music. That contradiction becomes a thread he pulls until something enormous comes loose, a case that the meaning you insist isn't there is woven into the way you perceive, the way you listen, and the aim you set without realizing you have set it. Along the way he takes apart the fantasy of a life without struggle, asks why a seventy-year-old man asleep in comfort is the least enviable figure in the Bible, and arrives, in the quietest moment of the night, at a piece of advice about love so simple and so practical that you will wonder why no one ever told you. What begins with a joke about slam dancing ends with a question you answer every time you decide what to look for.

This lecture was recorded on February 5th, 2024 in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Why Being Nice Is Destroying Your Family

What does a nervous man on a first date in a crowded restaurant have to do with the darkest impulses a human being can harbor? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson takes a scene so ordinary you have lived it a dozen times and slows it down until something unsettling appears underneath. Every glance across that table, he argues, is already serving a hidden aim, and the direction of that aim quietly decides whether the person sitting across from you is a partner to love or a tool to use. From the biology of why we pair bond, through the four dark traits that psychologists spent fifty years mapping, to the story of two brothers and a sacrifice gone wrong, Peterson traces how ordinary desire curdles into something monstrous, and how the same attention, aimed differently, becomes the foundation of trust, marriage, and everything worth building. What begins as dating advice ends somewhere you will not expect, with a burning sword, a fleeing prophet, and a question you answer without meaning to every time you look at another person.

This lecture was filmed on March 24th, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Why Your Resentment Is a Choice

What if the self you keep trying to serve isn't actually you at all? In this lecture, the final stop of a 60 city tour, Jordan Peterson begins with an unlikely admission from the world's most famous atheist and follows it into the two shortest, densest paragraphs in the Bible: the story of two brothers and the offerings they make. From there he traces a single thread through the whole architecture of a human life, why the child who insists on his own way ends up with no friends, why a marriage cannot survive on getting what you want, and how a thousand quiet hours of resentment turn an ordinary person into someone capable of the unthinkable. What he uncovers is not a rule about religion but a question your own conscience has been asking you all along, one that decides whether the world opens up in front of you or closes in. The answer has nothing to do with belief in the usual sense, and everything to do with what you're willing to give up.

This lecture was filmed on June 25, 2024, in Mexico City, Mexico.

Why You Can’t Get What You Actually Want

What does it mean that every glance you take is a moral act — and that the world you see is literally shaped by what you're aiming at when you look? This lecture builds from a deceptively simple observation about perception and intent into one of the oldest and most unsettling ideas in the biblical tradition: that the spirit you bring to your decisions determines what reality reveals to you. Moving through the stories of Jacob's ladder, Elijah's cave, and the still small voice that turns out to be harder to hear than any earthquake or firestorm, Peterson traces the case that conscience, calling, and the instinct to aim upward are not three things but one — and that the God of the Old Testament is less a being to be believed in than a direction to be chosen, one glance, one word, one sacrifice at a time.

The moment Moses strikes the rock instead of speaking to it, something breaks — not just in the story, but in the entire logic of leadership. This lecture traces the final act of the Exodus narrative, from the golden calf to the poisonous serpents to the strange bronze idol that somehow becomes the precursor to the crucifix, and asks what it all means for a civilization that's starting to forget. Peterson walks through the collapse that happens every time a people abandon self-governance for hedonism, how that abdication quietly summons the tyrant it thinks it's rejecting, and why Korah's revolutionary accusation — that all authority is just power wearing a costume — sounds so familiar right now. The throughline from Moses to Joshua to Christ turns out to be a single radical claim: that the only thing capable of making you immune to poison is the willingness to look at it directly.

What To Do When You've Lost Your Way

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson speaks with psychologist and autism researcher Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen about the nature of empathy, systemizing, and the neurological basis of autism. This needed conversation explores how humans develop theory of mind, the differences between cognitive and affective empathy, and why some individuals gravitate toward systems over social interaction. They discuss the evolutionary roots of invention, gender differences in cognition, and how autistic traits relate to creativity and pattern recognition. Unflinchingly, they also discuss the darker side of empathy deficits—including psychopathy and cruelty—raising urgent questions about compassion, human development, and our capacity for evil.
 
Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, Simon Baron-Cohen is Director of the Autism Research Centre and a global leader in autism research. He pioneered the 'mindblindness' and 'empathizing-systemizing' theories, has authored over 770 scientific papers, and was knighted in 2021 for his contributions to autism understanding. His work spans clinical practice, public education, and cutting-edge research on cognitive sex differences, empathy, and neurodiversity.
