First Step of Self Improvement | Dr. Jordan Peterson

About this video

Dr. Jordan Peterson advises starting self-improvement by asking what bothers you about yourself, then fixing the things you can fix. He uses making your bed and putting part of a chaotic living environment in order, by your own standards, as examples. Peterson argues one corner of order leaves you better situated to see the next step, and describes improvement as exponential, so small starts compound quickly.

• Dr. Peterson recommends asking what bothers you about yourself to find a domain to work on.

• Dr. Peterson describes improvement as exponential, so small starts compound faster than expected.
