MAPS OF MEANING : The Architecture of Belief

"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." ~ Montreal Gazette

"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. I plan to return to Peterson's musings and mapping many times over the next few years." ~Am J Psychiatry

"...a brilliant enlargement of our understanding of human motivation...a beautiful work." ~ Sheldon H. White, Harvard University

"...unique...a brilliant new synthesis of the meaning of mythologies and our human need to relate in story form the deep structure of our experiences." ~ Keith Oatley, University of Toronto
