Where Did Jordan Peterson Write Maps of Meaning?

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson did a fair bit of the work he is talking about while living in Boston from 1992 to 1998 and teaching at Harvard. He finished his first book there and thinks he really did the majority of the work in Boston, after doing some of it at McGill in Montreal. A lot of that work culminated in Maps of Meaning, a very academic book that was probably, in some ways, mostly written for him.

Writing a book means sorting through ideas and also communicating them. Maps of Meaning put a lot more emphasis on sorting through the ideas than on communicating them. The heavier emphasis marks a limitation, though not exactly a criticism.

Twenty years of lecturing about Maps of Meaning passed before the ideas he had been wrestling with became communicable.
