In a world that often emphasizes external circumstances as the source of our problems, Dr. Jordan Peterson offers a fundamentally different perspective: look inward first. This Canadian clinical psychologist, professor, and cultural commentator has emerged as one of the most influential — and at times, controversial — intellectual figures of our time.

One of his most powerful lines is as follows:

“The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.” — Jordan Peterson

What draws us at Exodus Counseling to Peterson’s work is his unflinching emphasis on personal responsibility in an era when victimhood is often celebrated. 

When we incorporate Peterson’s principles in our counseling sessions and in our own lives, we witness clients shift from feeling helpless to recognizing their own agency. This isn’t theory, it’s the practical effects of assuming the role in your life you were always meant to have. 

Here’s another one, “A hard truth is infinitely better than an easy lie.”

Dr. Peterson is full of wisdom we can learn from.
