How to Best Guide Your Life Decisions & Path | Dr. Jordan Peterson

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jordan Peterson, Ph.D.,
psychologist, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto,
best-selling author, and prominent online educator. We discuss the
biology of human emotions and motivations, healthy versus
destructive impulses, addictions, and generative drives. Topics
include how brain states shape decision-making—for better or
worse—and how religion and culture can guide us toward and through
the best paths in life. We also explore the innate human drive to
create "impact at a distance" and how it influences social
interactions, educational pursuits, career choices, and
relationships. Additional subjects include morality, social media,
politics, the human appetite for drama, and the importance of
embracing responsibility as a form of adventure to avoid wasting
time. Listeners will gain practical knowledge from psychology,
neuroscience, philosophy, and religion. Read the full show notes at
