What happens when you ignore a dragon? Dr. Jordan B. Peterson reads and analyzes
“There’s No Such Thing as a Dragon” by Jack Kent, exploring its psychological
and mythological depth. Using the children’s story as a springboard, Peterson
unpacks themes of willful blindness, familial dysfunction, and the archetypal
hero’s journey. He draws connections to ancient Egyptian mythology, the Exodus
narrative, and the crucifixion of Christ—arguing that dragons—both literal and
symbolic—grow when we refuse to confront them. If you’ve ever wondered what a
kid’s book has to do with the fate of your household, your children, or your
soul—this is the lecture for you.
