What creates the differences between the sexes? Many would point to culture, and my guest today would agree that culture certainly shapes us. But she’d also argue that at the core of the divergence of the sexes, and in particular, of how men think and behave, is one powerful hormone: testosterone.

Her name is Dr. Carole Hooven, and she’s a Harvard biologist and the author of T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone That Dominates and Divides Us. Today on the show, Carole explains the arguments that are made against testosterone’s influence on shaping men into men, and why she doesn’t think they hold water. She then unpacks the argument for how testosterone does function as the driving force in sex differences, and how it fundamentally shapes the bodies and minds of males. We delve into where T is made, how much of it men have compared to women, and what historical cases of castration tell us about the centrality of testosterone in male development. We then discuss how T shapes males, starting in the womb, and going into puberty and beyond, before turning to its influence in athletic performance. We end our conversation with Carole’s impassioned plea for celebrating what’s great about men.

#761: How Testosterone Makes Men, Men

In today's episode, Andy answers your questions on how to overcome the loss of belief in yourself during your personal development journey, what to do when one of your key people undermines your authority in front of the other employees, and the best way to prioritize American-made suppliers & vendors for your company.

363. Q&AF: Believing In Yourself, Undermining Your Authority & Prioritizing American-Made Products

On January 16th, 2018 Channel 4 aired the now infamous interview between Cathy Newman and Dr. Jordan Peterson. This podcast will first air the original interview and then the interview of Dr. Peterson by Geenstijl that was an analysis of the interview followed with an elaboration on what they think are the five strongest points of Dr. Peterson's philosophy on "how to be in the world".

1. The centrality of the archetypical hero's myth
2. The central role of the Logos during the hero's narrative
3. Making the right sacrifices when bargaining with the future
4. Orienting yourself towards the highest possible good you can conceive
5. Minimise your persona, cultivate your essence, and live in its closest possible proximity

Shapiro discussion starts at around 4:20 if you want to skip the tour information. 

This is an alternate posting of Ben Shapiro's May 6 premiere Sunday Special discussion with me (https://bit.ly/2I4czoU). 

Ben and I had a very intense discussion about the nesting of human perception and cognition in the mythic world - a better discussion, I think, than I've had with anyone.

I've added to the beginning of our discussion an update on available tickets for my US 12 Rules for Life tour, and an announcement of 10 additional Canadian dates (see www.jordanbpeterson.com/events). 

I hope you find the discussion useful.
