Jordan B. Peterson's Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief, published by Routledge in 1999. This is the academic work that preceded his later popular books.

Peterson draws on neuropsychology, mythology, religious narrative and clinical material to argue that belief systems function as maps for acting in an uncertain world, and to examine what happens psychologically and socially when those maps are threatened.

Read by students of psychology, religious studies and mythology, and by general readers who want the longer argument behind Peterson's later writing.
