Publisher Description
Jordan B. Peterson's Maps of Meaning is now available for the first time as an audio download!
Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths and stories with similar structures? What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.
Includes a PDF of Images from the Book.

Genius Masterpiece
This is truly a masterpiece of the highest order and a highly revelatory text for those wishing to know themselves and the world better. Updating our internal maps to gain a better understanding of meaning and behaviour, both internal and external, is an endeavor Korzybski would smile with and we can all appreciate. Thank you Jordan, your work brings a greater quality of meaning to the world, I am so happy with you showing up as you and sharing what you know and your journey of continuous discovery.
Vivid and insightful
I like the book. I can listen to it over and over. It’s a fascinating exploration of our roots in mythology and so relevant in knowing how to live. He explains it in such a vivid and insightful way which really brings the myths to life. I cannot get hold of the pdf that is supposed to come with the audiobook which is extremely distressing as myths are so visual. Apple have not responded to my enquiry about the pdf, unfortunately.
Maps of Meaning
This is a deep and informative book. I have to listen to each sentence just as many times as JBP took to write it 😉
