Historical And Mythological Context To Understand Personality – A Personality Guide By Jordan B. Peterson

 Jordan B. Peterson is considered one of the most powerful minds in psychology. He uses quality background information to let their students become more confident and intellectual. He uses some old fictional stories that might help you understand the aspects of personality.

Key Points

  • Naive people are easier to catch.
  • Learning is the key to freedom.
  • Clinical psychology aims to take the patient toward what is much better than what they had in the past.
  • Failure is the learning tool for your future.
  • When we ponder on a subject, we think and raise questions in our brains. This is where we start to learn about life and its aspects.

Summary

 In the lecture, Jordan uses the old myths and stories to explain the evolving society. He uses the myths to reference the mind of people and their thinking styles. Fairy Tales, myths and other such stories are the base of a society. Myths are examples of ideals. They are the information of traits we want to see in a particular person. We pass stories and myths from generation to generation, and all the descendants see them from the same point of view that you are seeing now. This is how they leave a mark on society and each individual’s personality. Jordan explains the myths and the pick-up personality ideas we get from them.

Jona is an old fairytale of the Bible. In the 2 Kings, we found the story of Jona as an inspiration, an ideal. We do not notice the myth that there is an impossibility for someone to live inside the body of a whale.  You do not value the facts which are close to impossibility. Your brain only tends to react to the ideal parts of the story. Your unconsciousness tends to reject all the unwanted factors of the story. All you do is learn to be a brave person and believe in God by the story.
