Maps of Meaning
"Maps of Meaning" is a psychological framework developed by Jordan Peterson that explores the relationship between belief systems, meaning, and human behavior. It integrates insights from various fields, including psychology, mythology, and religion, to explain how individuals construct meaning in their lives. The framework emphasizes the importance of narratives and symbols in shaping our understanding of the world.
The core idea is that people navigate their experiences through a map of meaning, which helps them interpret challenges and make decisions. By understanding these maps, individuals can better comprehend their motivations and the underlying structures of their beliefs, leading to personal growth and resilience.
