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.

Good book. Don’t remember buying it but good book.
Low bar philosophy
It is incredible that work like this gets published. For all the decrying of “identity politics” against queer folx and POCs, white, masculinist identity politics —veiled in Western civilizational discourses and failed philosophical traditions (that have been discredited or critiqued by Europeans themselves for two hundred years) — passes for scholarship because it asserts its poor readings of even the Western tradition as “rational” and “objective” and others as “ideological”.
Advanced reading.
One of the most important books in my life, along with the two 12 Rules books.
Dr. Peterson’s insights are extremely helpful… and that is a sinfully gross understatement.
I regret my inability to truly articulate, just how well he articulates, the struggles that many of us have, and the ultimately simple solution to all of it.
Good reading. Helpful to all, but I feel like Deists, Christians, and Atheists with Christian upbringing will benefit marginally most.
