In this narrative analysis, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson breaks down the Grimm Brothers’ “Hansel and Gretel,” revealing the psychological and symbolic dimensions hidden within the classic tale. From the selfishness of weak fathers and malevolent stepmothers to the false promises of hyper-solicitous care, Peterson explores how the abandonment of children into the unknown mirrors moral failure at home—and how faith, courage, and sibling love can redeem it. With echoes of biblical stories and and all too modern warning about overprotective parenting, this fairy tale becomes a rich allegory for navigating betrayal, scarcity, and emerging maturity.

The Meaning Of: Hansel & Gretel

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson interviews Stanford professor and prolific biotech entrepreneur Dr. Garry Nolan, covering the cutting-edge of cancer research and atomic-level imaging as well as his work with the U.S. government on anomalous health effects linked to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). Nolan explains how his scientific curiosity—and integrity—led him from debunking the infamous Atacama “alien” mummy to analyzing bizarre materials and biological effects tied to UAP encounters. Artificial intelligence, intuition, consciousness, and the blurry line between science fiction and scientific frontier, culminate in Nolan’s provisional belief: “something non-human has been here a long time.”

“Something Non-Human Has Been Here A Long Time” | Dr. Garry Nolan

In this exclusive Sessions interview, Dr. Jordan Peterson and Dr. Garry Nolan explore the stranger-than-fiction world of UAPs. They discuss the theatrical absurdity of “cow abductions,” early credible sightings of anomalous craft, and the possibility that Earth’s DNA has extraterrestrial origins. Nolan weighs in on the spy balloon incident as a wake-up call for U.S. defense, and pushes back on the idea that UAP discourse is a distraction—arguing instead that it’s driving policy and serious research.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson speaks with psychologist and autism researcher Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen about the nature of empathy, systemizing, and the neurological basis of autism. This needed conversation explores how humans develop theory of mind, the differences between cognitive and affective empathy, and why some individuals gravitate toward systems over social interaction. They discuss the evolutionary roots of invention, gender differences in cognition, and how autistic traits relate to creativity and pattern recognition. Unflinchingly, they also discuss the darker side of empathy deficits—including psychopathy and cruelty—raising urgent questions about compassion, human development, and our capacity for evil.

Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, Simon Baron-Cohen is Director of the Autism Research Centre and a global leader in autism research. He pioneered the 'mindblindness' and 'empathizing-systemizing' theories, has authored over 770 scientific papers, and was knighted in 2021 for his contributions to autism understanding. His work spans clinical practice, public education, and cutting-edge research on cognitive sex differences, empathy, and neurodiversity.

What Do We Actually Know About Autism? | Sir Simon Baron-Cohen

In this exclusive Sessions interview, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen confront the striking 800% increase in autism across recent decades. Is autism a singular disorder, or a complex interplay of disabilities and strengths? Baron-Cohen unpacks the multifaceted reasons behind this surge, parsing out whether it’s an epidemic or a change in diagnosis. The implications stretch across society, education, and how we grasp individual identity. With deep ties to human invention, perception, and empathy—this is a much needed confrontation.

In this deeply personal interview, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with Scott Adams, cartoonist and creator of Dilbert, to explore the unlikely paths that shape a life—from illustrating a nationally syndicated hit comic to fatal illness and facing the metaphysical. Adams shares stories of coincidence and perseverance, including how affirmations, setbacks, and sheer optimism propelled him from obscurity to national fame. The conversation dives into themes of malicious envy, systems versus goals, American culture, simulation theory, and the power of narrative perception.

Sparked by French’s recent New York Times article, “The Democrats’ $20 Million Man Problem,” he and Jordan Peterson discuss the societal failures contributing to male alienation—fatherlessness, loss of purpose, overmedication, and a culture that increasingly pathologizes masculinity. French shares personal insights as a father, veteran, and conservative commentator (Who is regularly published in Liberal outlets), and the two expand on themes of demoralization, the need for intentional rites of passage, and the psychological appeal of figures like Andrew Tate. The conversation closes with a stark agreement—we urgently need to reach young men with empathy, structure, and a meaningful vision for life.

How to Stop Europe’s Collapse: What We Can Learn from Germany's Mistakes | Christine Anderson

In this exclusive Sessions interview, Dr. Jordan Peterson and Christine Anderson discuss the cultural and political tensions surrounding immigration in Europe. Anderson reflects on how Germany, France, and the UK have transformed in recent decades, arguing that unchecked immigration is eroding national identity, social trust, and public safety. She draws on personal memories of East Germany and the fall of the Berlin Wall to illustrate the danger of creeping totalitarianism and the need for dissenting voices. She and Peterson also examine the religious and cultural underpinnings of social cohesion, the demographic crisis in the West, and why Anderson believes the AfD’s hardline stance on immigration is rooted in preserving core values—not hatred.

Dr. Jordan Peterson offers a psychological and cultural analysis of the Grimm Brothers' Snow White, using it as a lens to explore evolutionary biology, female status hierarchies, fertility suppression, and the pathology of the “evil queen” archetype. Drawing on research in primatology and cultural commentary, Peterson connects ancient folklore to modern dynamics—critiquing contemporary feminist ideologies, careerism, and generational envy, while upholding the redemptive power of masculine responsibility in narrative tradition (and real life). Part myth, part science, part cultural autopsy—this is the synthesis of one of Peterson’s most impactful tenants: stories matter, and fundamental stories reiterate across time.
