What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? From the author of <em>12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos </em>comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, <em>Maps of</em><em>Meaning</em> presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"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<br>"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.
