Jordan Peterson

Welcome to the Shared Wisdom of Jordan Peterson, a thinker who once illuminated the classrooms of the University of Toronto with profound insights into the human condition.

Before stepping away from academia in 2021 to become Professor Emeritus, Peterson captivated students with his lectures on psychology, mythology, and the art of meaning-making. Through courses like Maps of Meaning and Personality and Its Transformations, he wove together science, philosophy, and timeless narratives to explore how we navigate chaos, build resilience, and find purpose.

Here, we distil the essence of his teachings from that era, a time when his voice resonated most as an educator, offering you practical wisdom rooted in the depths of human experience.

Vinh Giang speaking on stage
Shared Wisdom

Vinh Giang

Vinh Giang, born in Australia to Vietnamese/Chinese refugee parents who arrived on 31 March 1981 with nothing, grew up watching them build a life through relentless effort.

Once a shy, quiet child sticking to his small circle, Vinh found transformation through magic from a young age. His passion for its art - and what it unlocked in him - sparked a vision to inspire others, strong enough to leave an accounting career for his dreams.

Specialising in close-up magic, he co-founded the Encyclopedia of Magic, an online platform that taught over 18,000 people worldwide in 18 months, recorded 3 million YouTube views, and earned a place in Australia's YouTube Partner Program.

Through the psychology of magic, Vinh delivers messages on positive thinking and resilience, using its wonder to help audiences see the impossible as possible. His drive connects and uplifts, creating experiences that empower people to rethink life and business.
