His entire lecture series, which is available on his youtube channel, is absolutely fantastic and worth every minute. It is probably one of the most engaging and enlightening bodies of work I have experienced in any format.

    I would recommend starting with the 2017 semester of his Maps of Meaning course. The first topic is a discussion of the themes and philosophy of the story of Pinocchio. It's really good. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL22J3VaeABQAT-0aSPq-OKOpQlHyR4k5h http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL22J3VaeABQAT-0aSPq-OK...

  Just wanted to say thank you for this. I've already watched several of his videos this evening and started a monthly Patreon donation. So good!

    Did you follow any kind of playlist? Could you provide a link?

      There should be a sibling post in this thread with a playlist link.

That was a solid, quick presentation of key ideas that could impact people a lot. Most psych links I see people post aren't like that. Great video! Thanks for sharing it.
