“Stand up straight with your shoulders back.” — that’s how the first of Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life sounds, which we’re discussing this season. While the idea of the connection between physical and psychological states is generally reasonable and relevant, I believe this rule carries much deeper meaning.

In this episode, we’ll discuss Peterson’s key concept of the dominance hierarchy and how it shows up in everyday life on different levels.

“If a dominant lobster is badly defeated, its brain basically dissolves. Then it grows a new, subordinate’s brain—one more appropriate to its new, lowly position.” (Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life)
