There's a great 5 minute clip of the clinical psychologist and professor Dr. Jordan B. Peterson talking about the dangers of being too agreeable:

His entire lecture series, which is available on his youtube channel, is absolutely fantastic and worth every minute. It is probably one of the most engaging and enlightening bodies of work I have experienced in any format.

Just wanted to say thank you for this. I've already watched several of his videos this evening and started a monthly Patreon donation. So good!

Did you follow any kind of playlist? Could you provide a link?

There should be a sibling post in this thread with a playlist link.

Can you point me to the videos that you found enlightening?

I would recommend starting with the 2017 semester of his Maps of Meaning course. The first topic is a discussion of the themes and philosophy of the story of Pinocchio. It's really good.

His two podcasts with Joe Rogan are the best. Joe himself said as much.

Absolutely. I also am a big proponent of his Self Authoring program.

That was a solid, quick presentation of key ideas that could impact people a lot. Most psych links I see people post aren't like that. Great video! Thanks for sharing it.

If anyone reads this it will be downvoted but he is a transphobic asshole.
