[quote:BRIEF:MV80NzQyNjE4Xzg2NDE2NDU3XzY2NDlBQzRB] The primary problem I see people making is confusing pleasure and fun with happiness...Happiness often requires delayed gratification which is counterproductive to instant fun and pleasure...Those choices ultimately lead to a catastrophic end...

I listened to nearly everything Jordan Peterson put online.
Out of the hundreds of hours of lectures, this is the most valuable thing I heard him say.
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Peterson would listen to and engage a person's problems for weeks and months and years. When he finally got to deepest cause, his clients had one thing in common:
arrogance.
The deepest cause of their problems was arrogance. He said this was true for nearly all his patients.
Arrogance had grown inside them and prevented them from connecting with others and prevented them from connecting with the deepest parts of themselves.
Arrogance had strangled them from growth and meaning.
I still am floored by the implications this. Could it be that we are our own worst enemy and there really is a simple (but not easy) solution to many problems?
Is humility the silver bullet for mental health issues?
