3 HOURS THAT WILL FIX YOUR CHARACTER & SOUL – Jordan Peterson Motivation – YouTube

Firstly, let me wish you a happy new year. I hope 2023 proves to be a good one for you all.

A friend sent me this video a while ago. He didn’t say why. He sends me stuff to read or watch occasionally. Sometimes it’s just a joke. Sometimes it’s serious. I read it or watch it (or sometimes I don’t). It’s always an honest attempt to do something good – if only cheer me up.

Women seem to believe that friendship is all about nurturing, supporting and encouraging and that most men are just plain bad at it. Men think that women are often bad at friendship too, but for a different reason. They sometimes seem to back a friend regardless of the wisdom of their chosen path. Many divorces, for example, begin with a discontent expressed to female friends being nurtured, supported and encouraged into steely resolve. None of my male friends initiated their own divorces or encouraged a friend to do so. In the unhappiest phases of my thirty-year marriage to the late Mrs P., several female friends suggested I leave her. No male friend ever did.

I have spent over a year in miserable solitude since Mrs P the Second left me in November of 2021. The conditional order for divorce was granted last month. We’re currently seeking a consent order on finance before applying for the final decree. This I can handle but my relationship with my daughters – the cracks in which emerged when I told them I planned to remarry eight years after the death of their mother – remains awful. I can’t get past the verdict on me represented by their rejection.

My female friends’ nurturing, supportive and encouraging approach to my sad situation can be summed up as;

There’s nothing wrong with you. Stuff happens. Your daughters will come around. Get out there and find a new woman and all will be well.

My male friends’ approach has been very different. After an initial “Sorry to hear that” they all – like this friend in sending me a video about fixing my character and soul – suggest I look to myself. That may seem unsympathetic but at least seeks to put the reins of my life back into my own hands.

Like much of Peterson’s output, the video makes a huge claim. Choosing such a title helps his enemies by making him sound like the charlatan they would have us believe he is. At first I set it aside with a sigh.

A few days ago, I half-watched it. I let it run in the background while I did other things. The occasional phrase caught my attention but his complicated ideas demand more concentration. Today I listened to it all the way through. I plan to play it a few more times and – as explaining something to others is often the best way to check proper understanding – I intend to share my thoughts about it here.

I do not seek to criticise your character or soul by directing you to it, gentle readers. If you have three hours to spare, I’d be grateful if you’d watch it then come back here to discuss it with me over the coming weeks.
