When it gets down to the basics, what is meaning and how do you have a meaningful life? For many people, Jordan Peterson and his lectures and books like, 12 Rules for Life, offer many people a way to get a glimpse at what a ‘good life’ might look like.   For others, it seems that he is poisoning the minds of society and spreading pseudoscience to the masses. For me, his message is one of hope, faith, and belief in yourself even when all the chips are down and you are left with nothing. At his Auckland lecture, I was amazed at how he kept a crowd of 1,529 zoned in, inflow, with deep conversations about life and our place in it. In episode 39 of Please Blow My Mind with Will Fleming, I ask Jordan Peterson the one question I ask all of my guests, “What is the one moment in life that blew your mind?” His answer blew my mind!
