Description
THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the bestselling author of The Gifts of Imperfection and Braving the Wilderness, an inspiring book examining the emotions and experiences that define us, helping us to become more emotionally fluent and connected.
'Thanks to Brene Brown I learned how to be vulnerable ... a life changer' Miranda Hart, actor, comedian, and bestselling author of I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You
'If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, 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.'
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 Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.
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 lays out 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 heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
Written with Brown's trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Atlas of the Heart is the revolutionary and inspiring guide that offers to help us all become more emotionally fluent and connected.
