A related story featured on HN a couple of days ago [1]. I&#x27;ll echo JonnieCache and recommend Jordan Peterson&#x27;s lectures [2]. If you are concerned about investing the time in an entire lecture, check out the video &quot;Dragons, Divine Parents, Heroes and Adversaries: A complete cosmology of being&quot; [3]; it gives a high level overview of the content contained within his lectures. I believe &#x27;Personality and its Transformations&#x27; (2014 series) followed by &#x27;Maps of Meaning&#x27; (2015) to be the best approach, though I haven&#x27;t yet had a chance to listen to the 2016 releases.<p>Jordan has uncanny ability to piece together observations on human behavior with science and mythology; expounding humanity&#x27;s nuances, ticks and everyday common behavior  through the lens of ancient mythology, evolution and ideas and theories by notable psychologists and philosophers.<p>Keep an open mind while listening, but also be prepared to think critically about many of his assumptions and assertions as Jordan takes a number of &#x27;educated&#x27; leaps (and demands you follow) in regards to published studies and what they may infer, but the leaps are never illogical - just yet to be soundly proven.<p>Overall, listening to these lectures truly was a transformative experience for myself.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10941363" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10941363</a>
