Recommendation Three: The Maps of Meaning Series from Jordan B Peterson Podcast

Kevin strongly recommends the Maps of Meaning Series from Jordan B Peterson Podcast, though these episodes haven’t been discussed in great details by us in the interview due to time limit. You can either listen to or watch the series; if you just want to spend a short period of time getting some gists, you may consider brief summaries done by websites providing abstracting services.
If Maps of Meaning sound too complex and profound to you, Kevin suggests trying Episode 22, aka. Adam and Eve: Self-Consciousness, Evil & Death, which deciphers myths and mystique of biblical stories and extends to the realistic human life. You can also watch the lecture here.

推荐三：The Maps of Meaning Series from Jordan B Peterson Podcast

凯文为Casticle推荐的是Peterson的Maps of Meaning系列，然而这一系列的内容实在太多、太抽象、太系统、太难用半个小时时间聊透了，所以我们在节目中非常遗憾地草草了事……如果听这一系列的播客很有难度，不妨去看看这一系列课程的视频，因为这一系列绝对不是multitasking就能消化得了的。如果你想快速了解个大概，然后再决定是否需要投入更多时间与精力系统学习，可以用类似这个整理概要的网站，先粗略地感受下Peterson的意义地图的轮廓。
如果Maps of Meaning系列对你来说实在太棘手，Kevin建议你先从第22集节目听起，题为 Adam and Eve: Self-Consciousness, Evil & Death。在这一期中，Peterson尝试破解圣经中的许多神话与迷思，将它们与世俗生活联系起来。你也可以在此观看这节课程。
关于Jordan Peterson的评论太多了，褒贬都有，无一例外的都是大长文……本期我们就先放一个2018年《纽约客》写的文章吧，作者尝试描述并解释了所谓「彼得森现象」。
