Why and how to improve yourself right now - Jordan Peterson
The main ideas covered in the video are:
1. You should improve yourself so as not to cause suffering to yourself and the people around you.
2. If you want to improve the world, start with yourself.
3. Your focus determines your reality.
This audio clip is cut from the original video "2017 Personality 10: Humanism & Phenomenology: Carl Rogers" which you can find by the link: • 2017 Personality 10: Humanism & Phenomenol... .His lectures are phenomenal, and I highly recommend to watch the whole lecture series on Personality and Its Transformations. Fantastic content.
“Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world”, says Jordan Peterson in his elegant manner. This is one of the themes piercing this video. "If you can't even clean up your own room, who the hell are you to give advice to the world?". Before, you go and try to change the “system”, you should get your own house in order, fix yourself, make your closest surroundings well-functioning and prosperous. Many of us go and give pieces of advice right and left on how to live, how to fix the economic system, how to set the political life straight, how to fight climate change, how others should behave, and the like. However, we don’t walk to a helicopter and try to start tinkering with it if it’s broken. This engineering miracle is complex, so are the aforementioned systems. My sense is that if you want to change the world, you start with yourself and work outward because you build your competence only that way.
