Reviews"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 JPsychiatry "...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

  • A challenging and weighty tome for those especially interested in the psychology of personality and meaning. Quite Jungian.

    This was the best price I could find for a new copy of this old title, which is rather pricey. Makes for one pleased camper right here.

  • Definitely buy for the content, not for collection.

    The essentials of the book -- readability is good. Price almost halved in 4 months. Quality is lower than the average mass distributed edition books.
