This is a comprehensive book delineating what is meaning (i.e. what motivates people to act), how meanings come about from homo sapiens to possibly humanity in the future before humanity migrates to cyborg (my projection). I enjoyed the supporting evidences from neuroscience and the level of abstractions that Professor Jordan Peterson put together. He puts the use cases in the range of dramas, stories, dramas, religions, philosophies through these levels of abstractions to show how meanings come about for humanities around the world for as long as there were written records. A scholarly work! Having read this book, I can understand how he has been able to put so many of his attackers in their places while he shares his wisdom in his popular book, The 12 Rules of Life.
