Summary
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Hard but not inpenetrable.
Hard to get into but rewarding in the end. Could listen to JBP talk indefinitely.

Obvious contradictions, but meaningful nonetheless
The author takes into consideration an imperfect understanding and potential for more to be known

Amazing, complicated but well worth it
There are some aspects of JBP writing I’m not intelligent enough to fully understand and this book is certainly very complicated but so much of it makes for a fascinating debate around the meaning of life. Thoroughly enjoyed this and has made me examine my own self, my religious beliefs and non beliefs more to the point and how the world and we within it can look to balance. If you find it a tough read please stick with it as it comes together in conclusion

A challenging but brilliant and worth while read
I bought the physical copy as well and read along with Jordan as this content is so difficult sometimes to follow - audio only I found impossible. It’s a difficult book (it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever read, every sentence so dense) it also really help keep me engaged and managed my reading tempo. Highly recommend this book - it took him 14 years to write and you can tell! It’s an extraordinary work.

Unique and Inspiring.
Not the easiest of listens, you have to concentrate, but the book is stuffed, I would say, with deep knowledge, insight and wisdom into many different and interesting aspects of how we came to operate as we do in this world, as only Peterson does it. Helps that it is read by the author. Overall it feels like an important book, and I would recommend it to anyone who is prepared to take the time, and remain open-minded to new ways of appreciating old stories and ideas. Excellent.

fascinating, convincing and cohesive
Peterson writes from a place of personal confusion to personal enlightenment. A tour de force.

Eye-opening and hard hitting points for the student of Life
The only negative feedback backfires on me, because I need to read/listen to the book several times - not cause the book is to dense, but I obviously am 😂

I think this is one of those books that you have to come back to in life as there's some much to take in , I must say what I wouldn't do for that man's vocabulary I spent a lot of time with the dictionary so far great non the less
