Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

By Brené Brown and Brynlee Brooke

Book Overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In Atlas of the Heart, Bren 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 be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."

Don't miss the five-part Max docuseries Bren Brown: Atlas of the Heart

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven 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."

Customer Reviews

Should be required reading for all humans (and anyone trying to understand a human)

It’s a long time since I read a book that gave me so much insight into life and myself. It gave words and concepts to what had previously just been feelings , truly empowering . It’s like a dictionary of feelings , studied in a scientific way, explained in easy language, and will make you think and see things in a new way. Somehow it made me more at peace with myself and my feelings/ reactions and choices in life . I’d go so far as to say it should be required reading in schools. . I gave my copy away as I wanted so much to share what I had learned with others so I’m buying another copy For myself. Great gift option .

Great condition!

I’ve been wanting my own copy of this book.
