10/10

Exactly what you’d expect from something Dr. Peterson is involved in. The lessons are life changing, and the educational value is off the chart.

Simply the Best Money You’ll Spend on Anything our World Has To Offer

I rarely post reviews, but I am compelled to on this occasion because of the enormous service to humanity and the quantum-leaping lollapalooza quality of the progress that Dr. Peterson has offered to the world through Peterson Academy.

If you want to be on the right side of history and to reclaim the good in the world, you would be very stupid indeed not to join.

This is the most important person in our world doing the greatest possible good for us - we the stupid masses who don’t deserve him in the slightest and keep punishing him undeservedly, while he keeps giving us more and better.

Check your ego and sign the hell up. We’re waiting to see you shine.

Peterson Academy is a scam

Do not waste your money on this academy and support the luxurious lifestyle of this grifting family. Your time is better spend dooms scrolling than watching their “classes”. I tried it out for one year and it didn’t work for me. The style of learning of staring at a white surgical screen listening to one guy ramble put me to sleep. I learned that education is always a two way street but Peterson academy is just a one way street on a screen. It’s isolating and without discourse with real people to bounce ideas off, it’s worthless. You tube has better free content on many of the subjects they offer. Minus the same boring rosters of lecturers who come across as used car salesmen. However, the Peterson will charge your credit card regardless and steal your money. Good luck trying to contact customer service. There is none. The first red flag is that this scam outfit is registered in Wyoming. If you see an entity being registered in Wyoming, but their business is in a different state, run. Don’t ask questions, just run. This was a hard lesson to learn during a time when money was really tight. Now whenever the Peterson family pops up on my feed I just want to barf. They left a very sour taste in my mouth.

Love the app, needs iPad version

I just started and really am enjoying the app so far my only complaint is there needs to be an i pad version

Downloaded Options

I do not have access to cellular service or wifi much of the time due to work constraints and was looking to blast through some of theses courses in my free time. I have found that once the videos of been downloaded they are not able to be accessed once all connectivity has been lost which renders the function of downloads more or less useless.
