Maps of Meaning by Jordan Peterson


A very deep difficult book about the evolutionary roots of meaning and self-actualization. It is a psychological, physiological, and philosophical approach with a base of Jungian thought. There is also a deep foray into the reality of evil and malevolence as primary reality. The argument seems coherent and plausible but extremely dense. It is very eclectic, making it seem a bit disorganized, but I think it is more that some parts require a second or third reading to understand. There were parts that I failed to understand but am quite sure this is due to my lack of persistence rather than a fault of the writer.
