What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJanuary 1, 1999\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eEdition ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e564 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0367463156\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-0367463151\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.65 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9.06 x 6.69 x 1.22 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"226\" data-start=\"186\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"226\" data-start=\"189\"\u003eFAQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"279\" data-start=\"228\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"279\" data-start=\"232\"\u003e1.
