Atlas of the Heart

Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

De: Brené Brown

Narrado por: Brené Brown

#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.”

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.

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!

Illustrations?

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

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.
