I'd like to finish Gulag Archipelago and get some basic Jung under my belt first if I ever read it. But honestly, what does the book offer that his lectures don't? Genuinely asking

I would assume that his book isn't as scatterbrained.

I love how scatterbrained his lectures are though. His tangents are generally the perfect length to keep the train of thought flowing

TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE

I DON'T ACTUALLY, I HAVE A HARD TIME CONCENTRATING WITH THEM. I WAS JUST INFORMING YOU THAT YOU HAVE THAT OPTION

>>9524795
You can print it then.

It's actually quite different from the lectures, in that in the lectures the science and the philosophy are often tied together with digressions (eg. Digressions on rat brains in a lecture on the hero archetype), whereas in the book all the elements of his argument are explained in detail in isolation, so it can be hard to see the book's central thread. Definitely worth reading once you have gone thru the maps of meaning lectures.

Fantastic , and it's available for free online, as are his lectures. Highly recommend them. Ignore his /pol/ fanbase and his stuff is top quality.

Has anyone made a "/lit/ guide to reading Jordan Peterson" meme yet?

What is the book about?

>>9526051
Mapping Jungian psychology onto evolutionary biology to prove that the best way of life is cultural conservative Christian Canadian welfare statism, that the most basic level of truth is not the scientific worldview but the anthropocentric web of meaning. The book is a justification of that view and map of those meanings.
