I bought the audiobook. It is an extremely difficult audiobook to follow. I've read some difficult literature, but this takes the cake. My brain would be fried after 15 minutes. I couldn't make it far at all. I was really bummed because it is full of amazing concepts to try and wrap your head around. Maybe reading it is the way to go.
I’m trying to imagine how brutal this would be as an audio book. I basically read a few pages as slow as possible. Start again and do that a few times and then come out knowing I don’t really know what he’s trying to say. It’s is very Christian belief centric as far as the archetypes he puts together. Strong Jung influences. Maps of meaning has some gold nuggets in it, you just have to mine for them like bitcoin. I’m more of a Joseph Campbell fan when it comes to mythological thinking. However JP discusses the downside of constantly chasing ones bliss all the time. JP is the extreme of academic intelectual liberalism as I can stomach. Any further left and I puke.
