Welcome to the Jordan B Peterson podcast. I'm Michaela Peterson. This is episode two season four

and in-person podcast yet again. This episode is between Greg Herwitz and Jordan Peterson.

It's called Build a Better Democrat and was recorded December 20, 2020, before the most recent

events on Capitol Hill. Greg Herwitz is an American novelist, script writer, and producer.

He has my favorite thriller books hands down. No question about it. If you like the born movies,

he writes novels kind of similar to that that are absolutely riveting. I'd recommend the Orphan X

series. He actually has the newest Orphan X out on January 26. There's a pre-order link in the

description that I would highly recommend checking out. Dad was also Greg's undergrad thesis

advisor when he worked at Harvard. That's how they know each other. But more to the point of the

episode in the last few years leading up to the presidential election, Greg has been working

with an independent team of Hollywood writers, producers, and directors to design and promote a

moderate political message for the Democrats. Worth a listen. And if you prefer to watch, the video

version will be up on YouTube tomorrow, Monday, January 18, 2021, on Dad's YouTube channel.

waste of time, which is ridiculous given how long people have been practicing meditation.

It can be hard to get into, especially if you have 10,000 things buzzing around your head at one

time. Headspace simplifies it. You also don't have to do it for very long to get the benefits.

There are scientifically backed benefits to meditation. I started with a 10-minute segment when I wake

up. I highly recommend this, rather than instantly checking social media or your phone and starting

your day stressed out. I've found it very helpful. I've been using headspace for years before these

advertisements started. It's simple, it's easy, and it works. You deserve to feel happier, and headspace
