An academic inquiry into the psychological significance of "grand narratives" and why many people see world events as such. Myths, Bible stories, and historical events--specifically World War II, the atrocities that occurred at Auschwitz, and the Cold War--get analyzed with a little help from Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell alongside others.

Found it pretty decent. Not familiar enough with portions of the research materials to give it a thorough grilling.

Wish the transitions from quotation to Peterson's thesis were defined more clearly, similar to how Dawkins does it in The Selfish Gene. Aside from that, Maps of Meaning was alright.
