A lot hate it, a lot love it. I believe the most importan...

This may be one of Jordan Peterson's most contentious rules in 12 Rules for Life.

If you are sensitive to new idea...

Thereby fixing YOUR world (yourself), you fix...

The principles in this rule should be communicated to every future and current parent. I almost titled the video, 'parenting 101' (I may still change it to that).
