Austin Wells asked:

Why is this book so expensive?

R According to Jordan Peterson, he spent 3 hours a day for fifteen years writing this book.
That's 16425 hours of study, research, thought and writing (give or take, obviously).
If he had been paid minimum wage (Canada 6$ roughly, according to 90s standards) hourly for all the work he put into the creation of this book, it might be worth $98000.

Of course, I am saying this slightly tongue-in-cheek, but the point is that information is priceless, and the book is worth every penny.

Happy reading. :)
Steph Azevedo You can get the pdf version of the book free on his website.
Evelina Because it's an investment into the quality of your life
Tim College textbook
Benedict Collins because it is incredible.
Jonathan I struggled to find an affordable copy for months, but decided when I signed up with Audible to exchange my first free credit for the Maps of Meaning audiobook. I highly recommend it.
Tribin also popular demand now i'd say. which would drive the prize up a bit more.
Keivan It's on archive.org for free
Anna Victoria It the publisher's choice, Dr Peterson said that when big house publishes you, the author gets a certain small percentage and they decide on the price. I think it was in one of the Q&A sessions on youtube.
