About this listen

 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.

This book has profoundly affected my conception of reality. It is a huge leap into wisdom.

One of the Greatest Book I ever Read

The book is quite difficult for me but I did get through it and took away from it the bits which I understood, such as divinity of the individual, etc. I intend to explore Dr. Peterson’s YouTube lectures.

Performance is excellent.

I’ve read this book after reading 12 rules for life, fast slow thinking, sapiens and a few others.
It’s a great / valuable read. I’ve always been interested in personal growth,this book isn’t about that it’s very dense but insightful.

This book combined with sapiens is some of the most profond readings I’ve done in years. To understand the fabric and wisdom of the stories we tell ourselves was something that affects my entire construct as well as everyone that I encounter.

A great listen!

May this be a gem for those who seek true riches. This work is a culmination of all human experience. Learn Vipassana and understand this book.

Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant.

In a dense work that carefully stacks different layers of the human psyche, from neuroanatomical structures to philosophical and psychological perspectives. Jordan Peterson exposes archetypal concepts that have been forgotten or overlooked by the modern mind. Using the commonalities of myths throughout cultures and history, as well as ideas formulated by Nietzsche and Jung, he puts Truth and the individual as the creative forces that move mankind forward.
The language is precise but very dense and makes the audiobook version a bit daunting. I have played and replayed parts of it to absorb each word.
I think it's a book to go to when in face of too much chaos in your life, when in despair, when you need to make sense of existence and your place in the world.
