Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: 9780415922227: Peterson, Jordan B.

Maps of Meaning: The Secret of the World's Rituals, Myths, and Stories is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the hidden connections between the mind, morality, and structure of the world through the study of myths and stories from different cultures and eras.

Written by the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, this book offers a provocative hypothesis that explores the link between modern neuropsychology and ancient mythologies. With a profound moral sense and vast erudition in areas ranging from clinical psychology to scripture, the author delves into the human experience through personal soul-searching and experiences with patients who include prisoners, alcoholics, and the mentally ill.

This book is not just a summary or abstract of the text but rather a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind. The author's unique approach brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, providing a cutting-edge work that will inspire readers to expand their own maps of meaning.

With its beautiful writing and thought-provoking ideas, Maps of Meaning is a must-read for anyone interested in the human experience and the deeper truths of our world.
