King Arthur’s knights sit at a round table, because they are all equal. Where is what you most want to be found? Where you are least likely to look.

I thought they would serve as a good introduction to the book, which was the source of many of the ideas that I develop in 2018’s 12 Rules for Life, the lectures at Jordan Peterson Videos, and the Jordan B Peterson Podcast. Here are three short excerpts from Maps of Meaning. You can find a clip of that recording at Penguin, who holds audio rights. I believe that the audio version will make the book much more accessible, as I was able to highlight the meaning of the more complex sections with careful intonation. I recently recorded an audio version of Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (Routledge, 1999), now available at Audible.
