Maps of Meaning by Jordan B. Peterson
"It Was Amazing 🤩
-★★★★★- (5.00/5.00)
My Grading Score = 100% (S)

The study of psychology in this book is extremely dense it is definitely a harder read than his two later books 12 Rules and 12 More Rules. Those are far more digestible, and I like them" Read more of this review »
