Jordan Peterson — Co-Founder
I am a clinical psychologist, professor, public lecturer, business consultant, vice-president of ExamCorp, a neuropsychological assessment company, and co-founder of the online education platform Peterson Academy. I previously served as a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and as a professor at Harvard University. With my colleagues, Dr. Daniel M. Higgins and Dr. Robert O. Pihl, I produced two online programs: understandmyself.com and selfauthoring.com. The latter is designed to help people plan for their ideal future (The Future Authoring Program), understand their past (The Past Authoring Program) and discover their true self (The Present Authoring Program). Research documenting the effectiveness of the Future Authoring program found that it helped thousands of university students improve their grades (+20%) and decreased the probability of dropout (-25%). I published Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief in 1999, which was later made into a thirteen-part televised series on TVO that featured many public intellectuals of international renown (http://bigideas.tvo.org/). I have also authored 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos and Beyond Order, both of which became multi-million copy bestsellers. I recently finished a new book, We Who Wrestle with God, slated for publication this November. I am co-founder of Peterson Academy, an international online education platform bringing the best lecturers in the world, to everyone, everywhere.
