Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best seller

In her latest book, Brené Brown writes, “If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.”

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.

Over the past two decades, Brown’s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as on Brown’s singular skills as a storyteller, to show us how accurately naming an experience doesn’t give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning, and choice.

Brown shares, “I want this book to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.”

Audio is the way to go for Atlas of the Heart!

The way Brené Brown narrates brings life. Her voice communicates - I far prefer her narration to reading her books. She made this an engaging book.

Atlas of the Heart covers emotions. For me, every minute of it evokes feelings. She eases the listener into an openness to others' true feelings, and this will improve the quality of one's life, I believe.

This should be required reading.

Brenè Brown gives folks a good launch point from which to navigate life as a human.

Illustrations?

She mentions making the book’s illustrations available withe the audiobook somehow. How can we see those?

I needed Brené…

I was gifted this book and love Brené Brown. Reading it to myself wasn’t working. I purchased the audiobook. Worth. Every. Penny. I needed Brené to tell me the story. To talk to me like I was sitting in a room with her; learning and absorbing all I can. Brilliantly read!

Excel book on learning the vocabulary of emotions.

Excellent book on learning the vocabulary of emotions. I also appreciate when someone can say, I've gotten some things wrong in the past, here's new evidence or ways of thinking about it.

a few good nuggets mixed in political agenda

she is wonderful as always, but a more liberal agenda surfaces throughout. I was slightly disappointed that she referred to highly politicized movements throughout this piece.
still love her though....

if I could give it more stars, I would!

There were a many aha's while listening to the audio. I had to purchase the book to underline, highlight, and earmark the pages. Definitions are so important to help us grow, recognize, and return responses with maturity. Highly recommended.

Great Information, Great Audio

Loved the format on how she divided the emotions, explained them, shared personal narrative and then pulled it all together on how being able to name your emotions can help in your life. Def recommend!

Brene outdoes herself every time

The book is a real map to feelings it’s helped me navigate a lot of hard feelings I’m dealing with right now.
