It seems there's more to it, but how one presents to others as a self reflection is probably part of it, as well as controlling what is in one's ability to control. Am one of those people who makes the bed within the first few minutes of waking. The oldest commented after leaving home about finally realizing the importance of a made bed, as arriving from work each day to a relaxed environment which doesn't scream of things needing to be done. Do acknowledge some people are simply more comfortable in a visually cluttered environment, though people don't seem threatened by that. Being calmed by order means being randomly labeled as mentally disordered or lacking more important things to do. A coworker once described their friend's bedroom as looking like a hotel room. Told them, I like that look. They said, the we don't really live here look? Told them, yes, that's exactly the one. :laugh:

Read some of the previous posts and now realize the purpose of the thread is mockery. Don't know much about Peterson and don't care much for analogies, but the notion of personal mental and physical states being somewhat connected isn't new.

My brother is a life coach, he says that all of Peterson's good ideas are standard "get your life in order" advice. He then throws on top of that a bunch of anti-feminist rhetoric, some conspiracy theories about cultural Marxism borrowed straight from the Nazi playbook, some transphobia, and a lot of words and pseudo-intellectualism.

I see. Maybe these frog videos aren't good examples, except for maybe mocking Peterson's voice. :laugh:

And Peterson is in celebrity rehab. The irony.

I hope they keep him isolated from the other patients, he could singlehandedly drive them all back to alcoholism and drugs.

He suffered from extreme symptoms from withdrawal from benzodiazepine. He came pretty close to death.
