Hello,

In this week's edition, I delve into the inherent potential within each of us to transform chaos into order, to elevate our lives through disciplined action — highlighting the vast and far-reaching benefits of such commitment. Then, I engage in a deep conversation with Dr. Corey DeAngelis, an accomplished author and researcher, as we tackle the complex issues of state budgets, the failing structure of public education, and the crucial role of school choice as a necessary path to redemption. Additionally, I revisit a lecture exploring the fundamental personality differences between men and women — a crucial topic that requires us to confront biological and psychological truths directly, to avoid the pitfalls of ideological error.

The Expansive Benefits Of Improving Your Life

Every person has the capability to improve his or her life and the lives of those around them — to make them better than they are at present. That is a noble goal. By properly taking care of yourself, you can make a significant difference in the lives of people in your family and community. 

People wonder about the meaning of life. What is it all about? What justifies suffering and misery? When you put yourself up against suffering and misery, you figure out how to push back. With all the strength you have at your disposal, you discern how to move the horror of life back, if even just an inch. This process improves you as a person, but it also makes the world a better place. 

Decades ago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn suggested that one of the fundamental axioms of Western civilization is that each person is a center of the world. The idea of more than one center is near incomprehensible to the human mind, but the universe has multiple centers. Yet every conscious being is a center and, in some sense, a center of infinite scope — bounded but infinite — which is also difficult to understand. However, the difference between being the center of the world and being a center of the world is substantial. Rather than think of yourself as the center, which is not helpful, invite everyone into the process. There is much work to be done, and everybody needs to participate because everybody’s participation is vital. Everyone must be in the game.

Jordan Peterson On Love And Marriage

Love is a complex notion. It takes a brilliant mind to discuss the role of one’s values in the act of love, to acknowledge the extent to which it affects consciousness, and to analyze how love can be applied practically in life. As an acclaimed clinical psychologist, author, educator, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is that mind. Yet he is not of mind only. He is one of heart. Peterson approaches the subject of love as a father and husband, having married his wife in 1989 (two years before earning his PhD in clinical psychology). Even after all he has accomplished in his career, he still proclaims his marriage, his intimate relationship, to be the best part of his life.

Why Men And Women Handle Stress So Differently

The personality differences that exist between men and women provide avenues of study that have been pursued over decades of research. These studies make speculative hypotheses possible, hypotheses which are reasonably well-documented by relevant literature. Why are women over represented in categories of depression and anxiety? Why are females much more likely to experience higher levels of negative emotions than men? This portion of a lecture addressing biology, traits, and personality provides possible answers to these questions.
