What To Do When Resentment Is Eating You Alive

New essay publishing on Monday at:https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/blog/https://x.com/jordanbpeterson?lang=en The moment Moses strikes the rock instead of speaking to it, something breaks — not just in the story, but in the entire logic of leadership. This lecture traces the final act of the Exodus narrative, from the golden calf to the poisonous serpents to the strange bronze idol that somehow becomes the precursor to the crucifix, and asks what it all means for a civilization that's starting to forget. Peterson walks through the collapse that happens every time a people abandon self-governance for hedonism, how that abdication quietly summons the tyrant it thinks it's rejecting, and why Korah's revolutionary accusation — that all authority is just power wearing a costume — sounds so familiar right now. The throughline from Moses to Joshua to Christ turns out to be a single radical claim: that the only thing capable of making you immune to poison is the willingness to look at it directly.

What do medieval alchemists, your recurring bad memories, and the reason you can't feel joy have in common? In this lecture, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson traces a single thread from Carl Jung's strangest work to a revolutionary discovery that emerged in four different scientific fields at once, one that changes how you understand every movie you've watched and every choice you've made. Along the way he reveals the writing exercise he built with colleagues from Harvard and McGill that can measurably lower your stress, the 90 minutes a week that determine whether a marriage survives, and the question our culture never asks anyone even once in their life. The night closes with a live Q&A where Dr. Peterson does not hold back on the state of Canada, and a story about a suit that changed more than he expected.

This is the second lecture from the We Who Wrestle With God tour.What does it mean that your God is whatever you put first? Why are the stories that grip you not false but hyper-real? Why is work identical to sacrifice, and what does that reveal about the nature of the covenantal relationship between humanity and the spirit of being? What happened when Cain offered his second rate effort and why is that same temptation available to every one of us in every decision we make? What is the story of Job really about? And what is the one promise that runs through the entire biblical corpus for those who are willing to offer their best?These are not abstract questions. They are the questions that determine the structure of your life whether you answer them consciously or not.

What does a 75-year-old man leaving his father's house for the first time have to do with the darkest question a human being can ask about themselves? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson traces a single obsession — how ordinary people commit extraordinary evil — from a teenage encounter with books about Nazi Germany and the Soviet gulag, through unsettling visits to a maximum security prison, to a startling personal reckoning with his own capacity for darkness. What he found waiting at the bottom of that question wasn't despair, but something far more unexpected: an ancient story about calling, sacrifice, and the kind of adventure that makes the weight of being alive feel worth carrying. The story of Abraham turns out to be less about faith in the conventional sense and far more about a question you already know the answer to — whether you're listening.

Hi, everybody. I’m pleased to let you know that we’re going to release a lecture a week from my extensive tour archive, beginning this Sunday and then repeating every Sunday after that. This allows me to do something interesting and useful while I’m otherwise incapacitated. My health is such at the moment that I can’t really return to podcasting or public lecturing. But we recorded these with the express intention of preparing them for release, and we’ve all determined that this is a very good time to do that. So that’s what’s going to happen. I hope you find them useful and compelling. They’ll be particularly attractive to those of you who liked my early YouTube work that was very lecture focused. It’s a return to my roots, I suppose, in some ways. And I’m as happy as I can be under the current circumstances, given my ill health, to be participating in this process and to have these lectures prepared for release. Thanks a lot for your continued attention and support. - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
