Maps of Meaning

Maps of Meaning, developed by Jordan Peterson, is a framework that explores how humans interpret the world through stories, symbols, and myths. It suggests our brains create mental "maps" to navigate complex life experiences, guiding our beliefs, values, and actions. These maps help us find meaning, understand danger and opportunity, and make sense of chaos by linking our beliefs to shared cultural narratives. Essentially, it's a way to understand how our minds organize and derive purpose from the stories and symbols that shape our worldview.
