Reviews
"The book reflects its author's profound moral sense and vast erudition in areas ranging from clinical psychology to scripture and a good deal of personal soul-searching and experience...with patients who include prisoners, alcoholics and the mentally ill." -- Montreal Gazette "This is not a book to be abstracted and summarized. Rather it should be read at leisure...and employed as a stimulus and reference to expand one's own maps of meaning. I plan to return to Peterson's musings and mapping many times over the next few years." -- Am JPsychiatry "...a brilliant enlargement of our understanding of human motivation...a beautiful work." -- Sheldon H. White, Harvard University "...unique...a brilliant new synthesis of the meaning of mythologies and our human need to relate in story form the deep structure of our experiences." -- Keith Oatley, University of Toronto

Synopsis
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., 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 ofMeaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind., Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths and stories with similar structures?

  • Top favorable review

    A challenging and weighty tome for those especially interested in the psychology of personality and meaning. Quite Jungian.

    This was the best price I could find for a new copy of this old title, which is rather pricey. Makes for one pleased camper right here.

  • Great content!

    This is a fabulous book for those interested in archytpes. It is deep; not an easy read.

  • Definitely buy for the content, not for collection.

    The essentials of the book -- readability is good. Price almost halved in 4 months. Quality is lower than the average mass distributed edition books.

  • Outstanding and transcendental.

    My recommendation is that you first listen to some of Jordan Peterson’s podcasts and interviews and lectures before undertaking this mind advancing book.
