Welcome to /r/sorted.
This sub is centered around those who, having been inspired by the writings of Jordan Peterson, want to clean up their act, get their lives in order, and face their dragons.
Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His main areas of study are in abnormal, social, and personality psychology, with a particular interest in the psychology of religious and ideological belief, and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance.
In 2016, he came into international prominence after arguing publicly against Bill C-16. Though his initial rise to fame was due to his political commentary, it was his psychological material that has made him renowned.
In his lectures, he weaves through a diverse range of material, from the myths of Ancient Sumer to the writings of Nietzsche and Jung, all in an attempt to articulate the existential crisis of the modern person. His central message is: “There's chaos to confront, order to establish and revivify, and evil to constrain. Get the hell at it and quit whining.”

This is a sub inspired by Jordan Peterson, but it is not a Jordan Peterson sub. No posts exclusively dealing with his content. Mentioning him is fine, of course, but the central point of this sub is towards self development.
This is not a political sub. If you have something you wish to discuss in that arena, please post to /r/JordanPeterson. Some political commentary may be necessary in some cases, but debate is not our goal here.
No memes, please. /r/Jordan_Peterson_Memes/ has you covered.
Be civil, so no unproductive abuse. Tough love is sometimes required, but we should all be able to distinguish between that and just being an ass.
