This is the book that got me started on my spiritual path, and inspired me to undergo years of psychodynamic therapy.

Other psychologists who had a major influence on me include:

Victor Frankl (Existential psychology) - 'Man's Search for Meaning' is the book that made me realize the importance of meaning, it's superiority to hedonism, and conviced me that finding meaning lies at the core of being human.

Daniel Kahneman (Behavioural psychology, Cognitive biases) - Reading his Noble Prize awarded 'Thinking Fast and Slow' is hands down the most eye opening, self-insight boosting reading experience I have ever had.

Carol Dweck (Developmental and Social Psychology) - Her main work is 'Mindset'. This was monumental to the way i related to learning.

David D. Burns (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) - Reading 'Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy' made me realize how most of my thoughtstream was irrational BS, and that I had the power to change my patterns of though.

This is interesting!! I have a feeling that those books are worth reading and worth learning

Poor Jordan Peterson, let's send him love and positivity instead of our judgement, for our judgement ultimately pushes a part of our unloved shadow away. Use observations, and blessings in it's place.

Yes he is poor, he argue with people and talks something,  i dont know to him ? And his rebuttal is , he is a clinical psychologist and that being clinical psychologist that the argument dropped and his work is research based he has a proof of his non sense

If you want to get lost in concepts and intellectualism, with a dash of entertainment that appeals to the monkey within, then go for it man. I believe there are many better teachers, such as ascended masters, the higher self consciousness, higher dimensional beings or enlightened psychologists who really have the potential of waking you up.

Ken Wilber for example is both enlightened and a psychologist. Peterson isn't enlightened. Choose who you follow carefully, you en-train with them

I like Jordan Peterson, but I have one annoyance with him. For someone who wrote a 564-page book on belief systems, he has done a terrible job of letting go of his own.
