Jordan B. Peterson on How to Build Confidence, Cultivate Inner Peace & The Psychology of MONEY (Part 2) EP 1094

Stop drinking too much. How do you know if you're drinking too much? You regret what you do when you're drinking. It's interfering with other important goals. It's causing you financial distress. It's getting you in trouble with your friends or your family. It's getting you in trouble with the police.

The biggest doubt I have is whether or not I'm going to be healthy enough to continue ... It plagues me continually, every second. I'm so ill.

You do something that help someone else, and it genuinely helps them; I defy you to find another experience that is that satisfying. It's actually quite stunning how satisfying that is.

People say 'Well, you shouldn't care what people think of you.' Well, yeah, of course you should. Psychopaths don't care what people think of them. Now, you shouldn't care so much what people think about you that you're willing to lie to maintain whatever it is that you think they value. There are places beyond which that becomes counterproductive, clearly.

When I look at successful people, they're really good at something, they're reliable, you can count on their word, they're generous, and they have a wide, wide connection network, which becomes more and more valuable as you get older.

What is it, you work 15% more hours, you make 40% more money ... It's part of the reason men make more money than women—because they work slightly longer hours, but it actually produces a disproportionate return.

You start to decline in your fluid intelligence at about the age of 25, and it's a linear trend downhill, and it can accelerate as you get older ... If you exercise, you stave that off.

If you want to have everything you could possibly want and more, then be a good person. The better a person you are, the more likely that is to happen.
