Dr. Jordan Peterson - How to Destroy Your Negative Beliefs (Video)
In this 27 November 2023 video from the Modern Wisdom channel, host Chris Williamson sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson to the difficult task of finding meaning in the modern world.

Expect to learn why you are morally obligated to do remarkable things, where the most important adventure is to be found in life, my war on cynicism, the delusions that destroy your happiness, Jordan’s opinion on Douglas Murray, why you don’t want to be Elon Musk, why the world has abandoned a belief in god, what it’s like to work with Ben Shapiro, whether universities are salvageable and more.
