Good morning everyone! I am starting my second class today on Dr Jordan B Peterson’s Intro to Nietzsche and have been taking notes for each of the lectures. If anyone is interested in reading my notes here is the link:

As I am going through a lecture you will see I’ll probably be restructuring the notes as I interpret the structure of the lecture, but feel free to ask questions or provide feedback on anything you see! Thanks!

Last night was the first class I have taken from Peterson Academy and it was fantastic. The design is incredible, the lecture was profoundly deep, yet easily digested, and I had no trouble focusing. It felt like the lecture flowed and grew naturally. I particularly enjoyed the fact that I could still see Jordan’s power point to make sure I hadn’t missed anything important and it helped ground the lecture. It was also very easy to situate the knowledge all together and keep the overall idea elevated while constructing its details below. All in all, it truly was a fantastic class and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done Mikhaila Peterson and Dr Jordan B Peterson! Feel free to chime in with anything you feel is relevant and stay tuned as I will make another post once I have hit another milestone.

I’m VERY excited about this course! Rob Henderson is an exceptionally good speaker with a very fascinating story. Here is a link to a podcast he did with Mikhaila Peterson which is very good and I would HIGHLY recommend it: https://youtu.be/wnnaBWbn4Z0?si=8snroVKA0XNB0xHf

Fun fact about me, I took Dr Jordan B Peterson’s personality test (https://www.understandmyself.com) and I scored in the 97th percentile for Extraversion. This is 1 of the personality traits in the five factor model. Using statistical analysis Dr. Peterson broke Extraversion into two aspects, Enthusiasm and Assertiveness. I scored in the 99th Percentile and the 85th percentile respectively.

I’m very excited for August 21st and will keep you all updated!

Do extraverts make more money?

Extraverts aren’t necessarily more talented or competent, they just put themselves out there. They're assertive and willing to be more sociable and seek social attention.

If you're an extravert and intelligent, aware, and agreeable, you can become a good leader.

Now, extraversion is just one ingredient. And it doesn't seem to have a lot of predictive power.

However, there was one study that found that among men, specifically, a one standard deviation increase in extraversion was associated with almost half a million dollars more throughout their careers. Again, this isn't to say that they're more competent or talented at their job.

But when you are assertive and put yourself out there, you're more likely to be open to these kinds of opportunities to be promoted.

Dr. Rob Henderson’s seven-hour course on Peterson Academy: Psychology of Social Status. Pre-enroll now at petersonacademy.com for early access August 21st.

In this course, Dr. Rob Henderson explores the psychology of social status, examining its evolutionary roots, developmental origins, and the fundamental role it plays in shaping human behavior.

The course delves into individual differences in status-seeking, the evolutionary reasons behind status pursuit, and the complex relationships between status, envy, and emotions. It also investigates the dynamics of social status in relation to stories, plot lines, and arenas of competition, and concludes by discussing the concept of luxury beliefs and their impact on society.

Congratulations Dr Jordan B Peterson, Mikhaila Peterson and Peterson Academy on over 10,000 pre-enrollments! I’m happy to be amongst one of many people who are very excited to learn from you!
