The Jordan Peterson Book Nobody Read | Maps of Meaning: A Review (youtube.com)
Maps of Meaning, by Jordan Peterson
Book Rating by Short Form Readers: 4.5 (74 reviews)
In the age of science, we’ve turned our backs on the myths our ancestors believed in. However, could it be that in giving up those stories, we’ve lost a crucial part of the human experience? In Maps of Meaning, Jordan Peterson argues that mythology provides a psychological tool that helps us create meaning in a chaotic world. Beneath their fanciful trappings, creation stories and heroic quests give us the moral foundations of society and the tools for adapting to life’s challenges. Perhaps even more importantly, myths teach us to recognize our individual capacity for good and evil.
In this guide, we’ll examine Peterson’s arguments on how myth affects the mind, mythology’s fundamental archetypes and stories, and how to apply the lessons of myth to live a more well-rounded life. We’ll also look at alternative interpretations of mythological stories, what science says about the intersection of myth and cognitive development, as well as how the symbols of myth have taken new form in the stories of today.

Canadian clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, whose main areas of study are in abnormal, social, and personality psychology, with a particular interest in the psychology of religious and ideological belief and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance.
Peterson’s first book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999), examined several academic fields to describe the structure of systems of beliefs and myths, their role in the regulation of emotion, creation of meaning, and several other topics such as motivation for genocide. His second book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, was released in January 2018.
In 2016 Peterson released a series of YouTube videos criticizing political correctness and the Canadian government’s Bill C-16, “An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code”. The Act added “gender identity and expression” as a prohibited ground of discrimination, which Peterson characterised as an introduction of compelled speech into law, although legal experts have disagreed. He subsequently received significant media coverage, attracting both support and criticism. Peterson is associated with the “Intellectual Dark Web”.
Peterson married Tammy Roberts in 1989. They have one daughter and one son.
Starting around 2000, Peterson began collecting Soviet-era paintings, displayed in his house as a reminder of, he argues, the relationship between totalitarian propaganda and art, and as examples of how idealistic visions can become totalitarian oppression and horror.
In late 2016, Peterson went on a strict diet consisting only of meat and some vegetables to control severe depression and an auto-immune disorder, including psoriasis and uveitis. He stopped eating any vegetables in mid-2018.

The Cruel Reality of Dementia: A Condition That Robs Memories and Challenges Families Dementia, a term that strikes fear into the hearts of many, is a cruel and devastating condition that gradually erodes a person’s cognitive abilities, memory, and even their sense of self. It is a broad term encompassing various types of neurodegenerative disorders, each with its own unique characteristics, but all sharing the common thread of progressively impairing mental functions. As the global population ages, the prevalence of dementia continues to rise, making it one of the most significant public health challenges of our time.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 55 million people worldwide are living with dementia, and this number is expected to rise to 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050. This insidious condition not only affects individuals but also takes a profound toll on families and caregivers, who bear witness to the slow and painful decline of their loved ones. The Many Faces of Dementia Dementia is not a single disease but rather a collection of symptoms caused by various underlying conditions. The most common form is Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for 60-80% of all dementia cases.
Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson’s disease dementia.
Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s disease is the most well-known and prevalent form of dementia. It is characterized by the buildup of abnormal proteins in the brain, leading to the gradual death of brain cells and the erosion of cognitive abilities. Early symptoms often include memory loss, difficulty with language and problem-solving, and changes in mood and behavior.
As the disease progresses, individuals may experience severe cognitive impairment, confusion, difficulty with daily activities, and even personality changes. Vascular Dementia Vascular dementia is the second most common form of dementia and is caused by impaired blood flow to the brain, often due to strokes or other cardiovascular conditions.
Symptoms can vary depending on the location and extent of the brain damage but may include memory loss, difficulty with decision-making and problem-solving, and changes in behavior and personality. This type of dementia is often associated with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
Lewy Body Dementia Lewy body dementia is characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain. It often manifests with symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s disease, such as memory loss and cognitive impairment, but also includes distinctive features like hallucinations, fluctuations in attention and alertness, and problems with movement and coordination. This type of dementia can be particularly challenging to diagnose and manage due to its complex and varied symptoms.
Frontotemporal Dementia Frontotemporal dementia is a less common form of dementia that primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, regions responsible for personality, behavior, and language. Symptoms may include personality changes, impaired judgment and decision-making, difficulty with language, and, in some cases, movement disorders.
This type of dementia often affects individuals at a younger age, typically between 45 and 65 years old. Parkinson’s Disease Dementia While Parkinson’s disease is primarily known for its motor symptoms, such as tremors and difficulty with movement, many individuals with Parkinson’s also develop dementia as the condition progresses. This form of dementia often affects cognitive abilities, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving skills.
It is estimated that up to 80% of individuals with Parkinson’s disease will eventually develop dementia. The impact of dementia extends far beyond the individual affected, as it profoundly impacts the lives of family members and caregivers. As cognitive abilities decline, individuals… ♫ The Jordan B.

Jordan Peterson’s Experience with the Carnivore Diet – Insights and Impact (texasrealfood.com)
Peterson seems to be reaching suffering people despite a lack of training or credentials in nutrition or medicine, and perhaps because of that distinction. Her Instagram bio: “For info on treating weight loss, depression, and autoimmune disorders with diet, check out my blog or fb page!” The blog, which is called “Don’t Eat That,” says at the top that “many (if not most) health problems are treatable with diet alone.” This is true, if at odds with the disclaimer at the bottom of the page that her words are “not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.”

Mikhaila Peterson is a Canadian-born podcaster, founder, CEO, lifestyle and diet researcher, mother, and speaker.
She hosts the Mikhaila Peterson Podcast – an interview style podcast sprinkled with solo episodes covering topics ranging from cutting edge health information to news to relationship and psychological advice. Her series “Opposing Views” brings on experts of their field to discuss contentious subjects with contrary beliefs to one another, with the goal of inspiring people to form their own educated opinion.
From age 2 until her young adult years, she suffered from severe juvenile idiopathic arthritis, idiopathic hypersomnia and severe depression. She had her hip and ankle replaced at age 17 due to the severity of the arthritis which was active in 37 of her joints and not successfully treatable with medication.
When she was 23 she put her disorders into remission and got off immunosuppressants, antidepressants, and a number of other medications used to control her inflammatory responses by using an extremely strict paleo diet. Getting off of antidepressants caused 2 years of hellish antidepressant withdrawal.
At age 25 she had a baby and started managing/growing her father Jordan B Peterson’s brand and companies, including managing PR, strategy, negotiations, and social media. That same year, 2017, she developed the Lion Diet to treat the lingering antidepressant damage/withdrawal. There’s a longer description of her illnesses on that website.
The Lion Diet is a ruminant meat ketogenic, carnivorous, elimination diet that can be used to treat autoimmunity, psychiatric disorders, obesity (among other chronic health issues), and identify food sensitivities. It’s helped tens of thousands of people who had similar health issues. Hopefully the medical community will take it seriously one day. She’s been on the lion diet since 2017. Information is available at liondiet.com including instructions on how to do the lion diet, recipes, an extensive FAQ, a blog, and links to the Facebook groups Don’t Eat That and The Lion Diet as well as a Lion Diet friendly restaurant locator.
At age 30 she launched Fuller Health, a supplement and product brand that produces pure non-toxic supplements and eventually products. Its first product is After Party – made for improving your mornings after drinking by helping you break down acetaldehyde. All of Fuller Health’s future products will be pure, with no fillers, excipients, or unnecessary ingredients, just third party tested pure ingredients for sensitive people. She started this company because of her inability to tolerate fillers and excipients in most supplements.
At age 31 she put together biotoxin.com to help people with illnesses caused by environmental toxins (such as mold toxicity), and currently believes that was the main culprit behind her and her family’s multiple chronic illnesses. Information on the website includes an in-depth guide to CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome caused by toxins such as mold, bacteria, lyme, VOC’s, etc.), an extensive catalog of peer reviewed studies, treatment, physicians and an FAQ that includes cleaning protocols.
She’s currently co-founder and CEO of Peterson Academy, an online education platform launching spring 2024. Peterson Academy produces 8 hour courses from world renowned professors to provide affordable education to anyone, and includes a community feature to allow students to connect with each other.
She also manages her father, Jordan B Peterson’s companies and brand.
Mikhaila’s main goal is to help people become resilient, and recognize how much control they have over their own life, to encourage others to take responsibility for their physical and mental health, and to help show people that they have the power to better their lives, regardless of the cards they’ve been dealt. You never know what level you can reach if you decide to put in the work.
In my synopsis of this blog, I recovered from Severe depression in 2006.
Know the root cause and it wasn’t until after I realized the root cause of mine was a feeling sorry for myself and selfish why him why me attitude. My father passed away gradually in the early months of 2006. It was when I added Why anybody that was when I transition my outlook on life and lift myself out of the dark rabbit that depression was for me.

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO MILITARY AGE CHINESE MEN COMING ACROSS OUR BORDERS ILLEGALLY.
China has been buying up strategically placed farmland next to military installations across the US, raising national security fears over potential espionage or even sabotage.
The Post has identified 19 bases across the US from Florida to Hawaii which are in close proximity to land bought up by Chinese entities and could be exploited by spies working for the communist nation.
They include some of the military’s most strategically important bases: Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) in Fayetteville, North Carolina; Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) in Killeen, Texas; Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California, and MacDill air force base in Tampa, Florida.
Robert S. Spalding III, a retired United States Air Force brigadier general whose work focuses on US-China relations told The Post: “It is concerning due to the proximity to strategic locations.
