A normal guy living a normal life, that’s who I was. Until I made the single best decision of my life.

If you ask me if there’s one thing that changed a part of my life in the past year, it’s not a career move, or family, or money, or women, but it’s Jordan Peterson.

I’ve stumbled upon Jordan Peterson’s podcast and lectures during the 2020 lockdown. I must have gotten really bored at some point because the next thing I found myself doing is listening to a lot of podcasts on the Internet.

In the morning, after lunch, afternoon walks, and before bedtime. Yes, it happened and I’ve listened to a lot of people and I can say that only a few people stood out.

One of them is Jordan Peterson. Let me tell you why.

It’s not about escapism

Jordan Peterson doesn’t preach about escaping your reality. As a matter of fact, he shows you our harsh reality. People nowadays are addicted to escape, whether through video games, sex, parties, or drugs. This same reason is why our generation has become inherently depressed.
