That drive is a unifying spirit in all of us, and it's a spirit that punishes the tyrant and calls the enslaved to freedom. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson as he describes how we can orient ourselves toward the spirit that calls us to the highest possible good.

Aiming at The Promised Land (Phoenix, AZ)
Although the decision between freedom and tyranny may seem obvious, the sacrifices necessary to take the path toward freedom are not always obvious.

What To Do When Something Bothers You (Riverside, California)
If you’re looking for meaning in your life, a great place to start is to take a good look at the things that bother you.

Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for an unfolding of why addressing your concerns is the best path towards a meaningful life.

Transformation as the Continual Goal (Los Angeles, California)
If you’re motivated, you’re gripped by the apprehension that you’re incrementally moving toward that which is most desirable. If you’ve ever reached a goal, you know you are not the same person you were when you started moving toward that goal. Hopefully, you’re different, you’re better, and you’re transformed. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for a revelatory talk on why the continual goal of your life should be a positive transformation of your character.

Answering the Call to Freedom (Auckland, NZ)
The problem with being lost in the desert is that it isn’t obvious why that is better than being enslaved. But perhaps, if you orient yourself to the spirit that can guide you reliably forward, you’re not really lost. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for a live Q&A about how to position yourself in the world to withstand the inevitable changes that occur throughout life.

Learn to Bear the Catastrophe of Life (Christchurch, NZ)
Through personal experiences and The Passion of the Christ story, Dr. Peterson details how to bear the catastrophe of life. Learning from these examples and implementing their lessons, you might have the adventure of your life.

The Manifestation of Meaning (Wellington, NZ)
A good marker to determine if something is meaningful is whether or not it grips you. As much as we’d like to believe that our desire in life is to be happy, happiness turns out to be fleeting in the face of suffering. So, what makes life worthwhile in the absence of happiness? Meaning. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for a revelation on what it takes to build a meaningful life.

Imagine Who You Could Be (Brisbane, AUS)
It takes humility to admit that we are not all that we could be. To become the person you want to be, you have to formulate an ideal. Even though an ideal judges your lesser self, it’s necessary to have an ideal to move towards the higher goal of your life. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson as he explains why developing a vision of your future self is necessary.

Find What Makes Suffering Worthwile (Sydney, AUS)
To criticize someone, something, or even yourself properly does not require denigrating to the point of corroding all value from it. Instead, proper criticism moves what is not of the highest value to one side and keeps what is truly of the highest value on the other. By removing what is not beneficial and focusing on what is, you will develop a life raft to hold onto when the painful storms of life come your way.

The Last Rule: Be Grateful in Spite of Your Suffering (Melbourne, AUS)
Even though hardship is certain to come your way, becoming bitter and resentful is a sure fire way to make your life significantly worse. As it turns out, having an attitude of gratitude remediates suffering, which is certainly better than an attitude that makes everything worse. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson as he describes how our attitudes shed light on the phrase, “You reap what you sow.”
100 min
Rule 6: Abandon Ideology (Adelaide, AUS)
Postmodernism suggests that the drive to power is the fundamental motivation behind a particular set of actions — but studies across multiple domains of species suggest that domination should not be the goal. Rather, the goal is to become a person who others voluntarily line up to play with. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson as he describes why abandoning power for the spirit of voluntary play is worthwhile.

Work As Hard As You Possibly Can on at Least One Thing and See What Happens (Perth, AUS)
Disciplined isn’t arbitrary. Committing to discipline is a way you open up doors for yourself that wouldn’t have otherwise opened. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson as he describes how becoming extremely good at one thing helps you have more freedom and opportunity in all areas of your life.
100 min
Are the Biblical Stories True? (Ottawa, Ontario)
When we ask if something is true, what we’re really asking is, “Is it real?” If you’re exploring the biblical stories, a good place to start is to expand your understanding of what it means for something to be true. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for the revelation that not only are the biblical stories true, they are also the highest form of truth that can be realized.

Where the Natural and the Spiritual Intersect (London, Ontario)
The instinct of awe is associated with the reflex of piloerection — the contraction that causes hair to stand on end and chills. You might ask, why does that happen when you experience something you admire? It’s more than just an arbitrary cognitive construct; it is one of the deepest possible reflections of your soul and of your biology. This is the place where the natural and the spiritual intersect. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for an explanation on how our biology has evolved to be an expression of our spirits.
90 min
Avoid Temporal Frameworks That Make Life Meaningless (Hamilton, Ontario)
A variation of rule one, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson addresses the postmodernist idea of life as meaningless. Rather than suggest the nature of being itself does not have any inherent value or meaning, perhaps a better, more plausible explanation for that conclusion is that the thinker’s idea of “meaning” and life is broken. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for a restructuring of the framework through which we view the meaning of life.
90 min
Do Not Do What You Hate (Detroit, Michigan)
Avoiding what you hate does not include discipline. We all must be disciplined in order to live. Rather, avoiding what you hate is a commitment to avoiding what violates your conscience. It’s true that whatever you practice is what you become, so it’s wise not to practice what you hate so you can avoid embodying a hatred from which there may be no way back. Join Jordan B. Peterson for a teaching on practicing Rule 5: Do Not Do What You Hate.

Perceiving the World Through Story (San Diego, California)
It’s impossible to pay attention to every detail in the world because there are just too many. We, therefore, see the world through a hierarchical structure of attentional prioritization related to a goal — and we do this automatically and by necessity. Story is how we describe and order what’s worth paying attention to, and it’s how we choose how we act out in the world. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson in San Diego, California, about the importance narrative plays in both our day-to-day lives, and our long-term goal to find purpose and meaning.
90 min
Walking the Line of Maximal Meaning (San Jose, California)
The more you observe humanity, the more you will start to see patterns emerge. We organize societies, governments, music, and relationships all within the structure of a pattern that repeats itself over and over. When that pattern is in harmony and oriented toward the highest moral good, it can be compared to a song or dance, where all the notes and steps are in the right order — but it’s a delicate line. Join Dr. Jordan B. Peterson for a revelatory talk on how to walk the line of maximal meaning.

You’re Built for Adventure (Wheatland, California)
If happiness is your life goal, you’ll be taken out by the first wave of chaos that comes along. In this live talk, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson outlines that the best aim for life is to choose a worthy challenge that transforms you into a person who can withstand the storms of life.
