I have friends who praise him and read his book etc... and I've also heard a lot of criticism calling him a charlatan.

I personally don't mind listening to him discuss psychology cause he's an actual expert on that, but I disagree with some of his political views. I also don't agree with the hysteria around pronoun usage etc. and the many references to the bible and Christianity don't interest me.

I will say that his self help stuff is pretty good, and it's clear why so many guys who want guidance look to his books.
What do you guys think of him and his work?

Clean ur room

Hugely overrated imo, some of the stuff he says is p good and I don't deny that he's an intelligent person, but some of the stuff he says is also pretty out there. I just say take the good advice and views he has on certain things then forget the rest. No need to worship him or act like everything he says is profound

peterson ultimately means well and is a pseudo-father figure for a lot of people who don't have one. i don't think he's an expert across the board. he's a psychologist whose self help stuff is good (albeit sometimes overrated) for people who need that type of advice, but that's where things kinda end.
his weird dive into health advice (like the meat diet thing?) and political views are kind of unneeded and a result of him being pushed into the spotlight which inflated his ego imo. his actual psychology stuff i find okay and i don't think he's a bad person. i don't understand people that wish death on him.
ultimately if he's a pseudo-father figure, you get the same effects as a real father figure; dads don't know everything, but they mean well. they have things they're good at and things they aren't, but both of those are gonna rub off on you either way just by notion of looking up to them. it's just emphasized a lot more because he has a celebrity following as opposed to just being the older dude in your home

Fraud

Didn’t know u could use less than 300 words

Is this shots @ me

Just didn’t think ya had it in u. Here’s to minimalism

Stop giving these d***gies a platform

that nigga a cuck

Amazing running back but a terrible father

trash

Damn b****, you live like this?

Some of the stuff he says is valid but overall he’s a cornball wit it

Hes a cowardly hack

the messiah of disgruntled angry young men with a variety of problems.

a christain nut with a lobster fetish.

yeah you've guessed it he's a bit of a c***

Always felt like his advice sounded better than it was. Like yea you should set goals and be disciplined and work harder. But everyone already knows that. What about dealing with burnout (for ex.)?

To me it just comes off as feel-good advice that people stick to for like a month before quitting because you can’t just will yourself into working harder indefinitely.

There was a bitter irony when it came out about his own life being in shambles. That being said hope he can get clean and find peace

I think I agree with some of what he says but not a lot of it. Like I agree with stuff he says about there being a dominance hierarchy & also how you should be organized & other stuff but then there’s also a lot of pseudo intellectual stuff I think is just blabber

Wash your p****

i dont get why hes so famous. his self help s*** isnt necessarily bad but its nothing new either. the clean your room and stand with your shoulders up straight advice is as old as it gets.

Jordan Peterson is essential... especially for young men.

He helped me drastically transform my life. He’s not a masculinity teacher. He’s not an alt-right troll. He’s not a Christian philosopher. He’s not the smartest man in the world...

But his advice can really help you put your life together... some of it is simple, but some of it is beyond helpful.

I was 20~ years old when I discovered him, and I’m 24 right now, and I couldn’t even imagine where I’d be without his advice and guidance.

The intellectual for idiots
