In this video, Jordan Peterson explores the notion that money for many people is a fear-inducing problem. It seems that in the world today, fear is crippling us. Dr. Oz asks Jordan Peterson how can someone become brave enough to challenge the demons we fear most? Jordan Peterson explains that it has to be done incrementally. If you’re afraid of something, figure out a map that will allow you to differentiate it into smaller and smaller problems until the problem is small enough that you can address it.
Part of the challenge Dr. Oz finds is that people aren’t even thinking of changing because they’ve accepted the status quo. He thinks that once you decide to change, you’re probably 80 percent of the way there. Jordan Peterson agrees, and he even thinks there is a pre-condition to that. It’s the decision that you’re insufficient in your current form. This is always true and a terrible burden, and no wonder people want to avoid it. But Jordan Peterson explains that there is also hope in that. If things aren’t good enough, probably you could be better. And you might already know ways to change that. That to Jordan Peterson is a pathway.
