Maps of Meaning(2025)

Maps of Meaning is a twelve-hour educational series featuring Dr. Jordan B. Peterson as he investigates how humans construct meaning and navigate consciousness. Drawing on psychology, mythology, and neuroscience, Peterson examines the archetypal hero's journey and its role in personal transformation. He argues that confronting suffering and accepting responsibility reshape both individual identity and society at large. The series explores how religious symbols, narrative archetypes, and social structures influence the mind and culture. Peterson contends that tension between order and chaos defines human experience, and that voluntary engagement with this tension—guided by purpose and values—enables individuals to transform chaos into meaningful order. Grounded in decades of research, Maps of Meaning presents a framework for understanding consciousness and the pursuit of significance.
