Hello,

This week's edition will discuss speaking authentically, the theory of enchantment and how to transcend yourself.


** With Regards To Telling If You Are Speaking Authentically
------------------------------------------------------------

Listen to yourself talk, as if a stranger was talking. Try not to identify too much with what you are saying. Then, observe. See if what you are saying makes you feel stronger, physically, or weaker. If it makes you feel weaker, stop saying it. Try to reformulate your speech until you can feel the ground under your feet solidifying. Then practice only saying things that make you strong.

Stop trying to use your speech to get what you want. You don’t necessarily know what you want. Instead, try to articulate what you believe to be true as carefully as possible. Then, accept the outcome. Assume that your truth, as lived and spoken, will produce the best possible outcome.

It’s an act of faith. But so is every other way of being.

Theory of Enchantment | Chloé Valdery | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast - S4E77

This episode was recorded on September 15th, 2021.

Chloé Valdary and I discuss The Theory of Enchantment, her personal brand of compassionate anti-racism. Chloé has been featured in Psychology Today and the NY Times. Her work with Theory of Enchantment attempts to bring compassion to diversity training and fight bigotry with love.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson:

"I think the best way to conceptualise diversity across human beings is certainly not racial."

Chloé Valdery:

“Enchantment theory says that we have to engage in a series of practices to be in right relationship with ourselves, the totality of ourselves, the complexity of ourselves, so that we become less likely to overcompensate and project supremacist attitudes onto the world and others"

Transcend Yourself | Jordan B. Peterson
​​
Dr. Peterson:

"Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today, because you need to have a hierarchy of improvement. You need to be aiming for something, and that means you're going to be lesser than people who've always already attained along that dimension, so the question is, who should you defeat in the final analysis? The answer is you should defeat your former self. "
