Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience [B1945]

2021 HCDJ in nice clean condition. In Atlas of the Heart, 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." Now a five-part Max docuseries Brené 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."

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "If there is one book I recommend having on one's bookshelf (at home), it is this one. A brilliant guide on human emotions! Never thought a scientific, research-based, factual book could be a page turner. I had to proactively refrain from reading everything in one go. So well written, easy to follow through with relatable lived experiences used as examples.

Vocab is power. This book equipped me with the power to a) understand the emotions I experience within and b) articulate those emotions to myself and others. Will be revisiting different chapters of this book every now and then. So good!"; "I really enjoyed this one, and the hardcover book is so pretty. I love the integration of comics and the pretty pictures for each chapter. It was just a joy to read and gave me lots of things to think about and to acknowledge in myself."; "This is one of those books that's meant to be physically held, highlighted, dog-eared, and revisited. She references a lot of concepts and visuals that I found myself pausing and really sitting with."
