Hello everybody, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Dr Jordan B Peterson.

He's a clinical psychologist, podcaster, speaker, and an author.

Finding meaning in the modern world can be a difficult task when life is convenient and comfortable

discovering our purpose and facing hard things can be increasingly tough but there are

some reliable routes toward the greatest adventure of your life.

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 much more.

So, so much to take away from today.

I really enjoy these conversations with Jordan. It's been 18 months since he was on the show and it feels like the world has changed an awful lot in the interim, so very good to sit down and catch up about what he's been working on. Also don't forget that you might be

listening but not subscribed and that means you will miss episodes when they go up.

So navigate to Spotify or Apple Podcasts and press the subscribe button. I thank you.

But now ladies and

gentlemen please welcome Dr Jordan B Peterson. Oh, You say you are morally obligated to do remarkable things. Why? Well I think partly because life is so difficult and challenging that unless you give it everything you have, the chances are very high that it will

embitter you and then you'll be a force for darkness and not good. And so, you know, the fact that life is short and can be brutal,

can terrify you into hiding. you can also

flip that on its heading and avoiding,

but it can also, you can flip that on its head
