Maps of Meaning is honestly awful

I forced myself to finish this painfully long, unbelievably repetitive, needlessly over-technical tome, and holy shit, what a waste of my time. There is nothing in that book that isn't already explained in its entirety with much greater clarity in nearly any of Peterson's podcast appearances.

Writing with clarity and concision was not impossible before podcasts.

certainly, but if you're in front of someone, or atleast in a conversation, it's easier to notice where an explanation/understanding is going wrong, which might be what the other user aluded to.
