I’m still trying to get a ticket but begrudge paying £190 on Viagogo for one.
Has anyone else got a ticket and going to see him?

Is Viagogo legit?

Personally I love him, a lot of his stuff has resonated with me on a personal level with problems I’ve had and am still facing in my life.

Viagogo is a reseller ie scalper. Unfortunately the promotion industry is completely crooked and most tickets go straight to them and not on general sale. In case of problem you pretty much have no rights of comeback I believe.

Jordon's interesting to listen to and regularly on my playlist, dunno if I'd go see him though. Unless he was in a debate with a few woke cultural trendsetters I'd pay anything to be in that roomlaugh

I dont think i would pay £190 to listen to anyone to be honest but i've just downloaded two of his books as they sound intriguing.

Even if I paid on my credit card for the ticket?

No, but I really enjoyed his old uni lectures [where he's in his domain 100%] and his first book [interesting on a number of levels].

Used to be a big fan of JP but hated his book 12 Rules for Life. Such a hard book to read and get into.... also wasn't he in rehab in Russia for months recently. Can't take him seriously anymore.....love the University lectures he did that are on YouTube from back in the day.

Agree. I love his videos on YT and so bought 12 Rules. I've tried so many times to read it but have now given up. It just doesn't flow well

Glad it wasn't just me then, given all the podcasts and YT videos I've watched/listened too, I was expecting his book to be a much easier read. But it just didn't flow very well.

Multiple universities publish interesting lectures by phychology profs who, erm, give off slightly less of religious nutcase contrarian addict kind of vibe?

I'm not sure I would pay £190, but I have read 12 Rules for Life and Beyond Order twice each. They are not the easiest reads, but worthwhile for the insights.

I must watch his Stephen Fry podcast. It is a much more reasonable £0 on YouTube.

Jordan Peterson is an atheist. He became addicted to a form of anti-depressant his Doctor had prescribed him after many ‘tolerant’ services, (PayPal, Patreon etc), and Universities had banned him for “hate speech” for his refusal to be forced by Canadian Law to professionally address individuals as something they were clearly not, and after his Wife had been diagnosed with a particularly aggressive and invasive cancer.

So on one of your accusations, you’re wrong, on another you’re at best unfair, and on another, it’s just your opinion.

Fair enough. It was off the cuff…

I’ve read his first book, which I enjoyed, a book that gives a strong impression he is a Christian?

Google says:

When asked if he's a Christian he says yes; moreover, when asked if he believes in a literal resurrection of Christ, he says, “I would say that at the moment I'm agnostic about that issue, which is a lot different than saying I don't believe that it happened.”

His seeking of unconventional treatments in Russia for medical conditions gives off odd ‘vibes’. But insensitive oh me to to judge. Fair.

Contrarian, he appears to seek out antagonistic interviews to publicise his books?

I’m just saying the whole thing has a culty vibe.

Perhaps if I watched more my first impression would be prove wrong.

A nasty journey out of benzodiazepine dependency. He is quite open about it in the preface to Beyond Order.

ETA - in fact you can read that bit on Amazon Look Inside!
