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.

"Wonderful. Describing the structure of existence, socially and biologically. No other book like it." — Aaron M. (5 out of 5 stars)
"Wonderful. Describing the structure of existence, socially and biologically. No other book like it."
“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.”
“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.”
" Amazingly easy to digest and assimilate into day-to-day activities believes and problems. "
