In this episode we discuss the third rule in "Beyond Order". We discuss how we avoid problems or specifying what we want out of certain situations or in life generally and the psychological reasons behind those decisions. If we keep our goals and desires vague and undefined then we can avoid setting the parameters for failure. This plays a huge role in our actions in our everyday life as well as our interactions with others in relationship to our goals and when things aren't going as well as we'd like them to. This is particular important and applicable in regards to our intimate relationships. By integrating this rule we can live fuller more successful lives and maybe just maybe get more of what we want and have less disappointment by clearly defining our conditions for success rather than keeping our problems obscured in the fog that lack of clarity brings.

In this episode we wrap up our discussion on chapter 2 of "Beyond Order" and discuss the necessity of constraining the potential within us to pursue a proposed goal and why it is required for each of us to develop into something useful rather than to remain stuck in a world of endless possibilities but unable to move because movement in itself requires the restriction to a particular direction and the abandonment of others.

What makes us who we are? What is the potential that we possess within us? What is our purpose? All of us have asked these or similar questions at some part in our lives. In part one of this discussion on rule #2 of Jordan Peterson's "Beyond Order," we discuss the idea surrounding the expanse of boundless potential within us and how that can in theory be taken any direction we choose and how once we choose a path we restrict that potential towards a specific goal or purpose. This sort of restriction is necessary in order to provide a structure in which that potential can be directed and made useful.

We discuss the first chapter of Jordan Peterson's next book "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life". In this episode we talk about the importance of accepting the role of the fool when taking on new opportunities that our social institutions offer us and how by doing so allows us to learn and to grow. We also discuss the importance of creativity and novel ideas and how they serve to update and refresh the established societal structures with our ever expanding knowledge and where the proper balance lies between these two aspects of life.

Why is there so much suffering in the world and in our everyday lives? What purpose does it serve and how can we justify moving forward? In this episode we discuss the necessity of limitation and how because of it we feel pain but also how to find the meaning of our lives in that limitation. Without limitation there can be nothing to achieve and nothing to overcome. While it can oftentimes bring frustration it also gives provides us the means to create a truly compelling story to our life and gives us something to aim for.

Garrett and I disucss this interestingly named chapter in "12 Rules for Life". We discuss how us as humans increase our potential and advance by exploring the capacity we posses to move further and further by engaging with danger in small doses to push the limits of our abilities. The only way that we are able to grow is to willingly engage with the potentially dangerous unknown and to overcome it. By doing so we expand our understanding but also our capacity to thrive and increase our ability to face danger and fear.

We discuss the importance of speaking clearly and in order to communicate effectively and articulately what you mean. By doing so we can cut down on many inconvenient or unnecessary misunderstandings as so many of our problems with others is due to our inablility to communicate effectively or understand one another. We explore this idea and give our own personal thoughts on areas where we could do better with this as well as the dangers of keeping things vague and unclear.

On today's episode Garrett and I discuss Rule 09 of 12 Rules for Life. The topic is about how when talking to a person you should listen to them carefully as they may know something that you don't. Oftentimes in conversations with one another we can find ourselves trying to prove a point, to "win" rather than to listen and learn. We tend to seek only the answers that support our perspectives and views and because of this tend to miss the opportunities of gaining new knowledge that we could acquire if we could only learn to listen. We'll discuss how important it is to truly listen to those we talk to and how the rewards it can yield.

Thank you for listening! We hope you enjoy! A new email for the podcast has been set up so please let us know if you have any ideas or feedback for improvements or topics that you might like to hear us discuss! The email is [email protected].

This episode concludes our conversation on rule #7. We discuss the areas that seem to have held the most meaning for us in our individual lives and what makes the pursuit of those particular endeavors worth the hardship. So often we think that things shouldn't be hard and wish that things sometimes could just be easy but in this episode we explore why struggle is inevitable and more so why it is absolutely necessary to bring about the deepest possible meaning in the things we choose to pursue. We hope this discussion encourages everyone to think about what are the most meaningful pursuits in their lives and the struggles that they have undergone to achieve those goals.
