I've heard references online to Jordan Peterson, but don't have any first-hand knowledge of him. This article explores the reasons for his appeal. Has anyone read him or listened to his lectures?
With a bestselling book, 850,000 followers on YouTube, and $60,000 a month in direct contributions from fans, Jordan Peterson has every material reason to be happy. But watch one of the lectures or interviews that have made him famous, and you will see a face full of sorrow. He talks about overcoming depression?from long experience of failing to do so. He tells audiences to stand up straight with their shoulders back?then lowers his eyes. He preaches personal uplift?and breaks out in tears. His fans, uncertain young men, love him all the more for it.
