Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 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 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.”

Goodreads review by Regina on March 06, 2022

Atlas of the Heart is a beautiful reference book that would look lovely on a coffee table or guestroom night stand. It’s full of images and diagrams and the like, which make it quite different from Brené Brown’s previous publications. When I first saw it in stores I was a little bummed, because I al......more

I'm about 100 pages into Atlas of the Heart so far and there are already a gazillion sticky notes all over it.

Goodreads review by Ron on December 08, 2021

I would consider myself top 1% of Brown's devotees. I teach several of her works in my classroom and have followed her since the initial TED talk. This was a huge disappointment and made me sad to think that it felt like a money grab. Sure it's gorgeous and well done, as expected, but it feels recyc......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on January 02, 2022

I didn’t get a lot out of this. I became incredibly bored reading the definitions of 80+ emotions. I really enjoy her podcast and other books and was expecting more. Visually it’s a beautiful book. I don’t need another book for my coffee table though and didn’t realize that’s what I was pre-ordering......more
