Publisher’s Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
In her latest book, five-time number one New York Times best-selling author Dr Brené Brown writes, ‘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.’
In Atlas of the Heart, 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.
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 shares, ‘I want this 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. Even when we have no idea where we are.’

Much More than an Audiobook
I Rarely do this, if I like an Audiobook I just give it a 5 star rating and I’m done. but I haven’t even finished this book & I’m motivated to write something.
If you know Brene’s work then the content of the book really needs little introduction, whit I really wanted to highlight was the ‘performance’ of this book. Brene Brown is an excellent spoken word communicator, and this ‘book’ is no exception. What you get here is so much more than the book in audio form, descriptions and background if the illustrations in the book, asides and anecdotes that aren’t in the print text, Brene’s intimate and warm delivery that lift the words off the page and make them something even more engaging.
brilliant job, Brene & team xx

Simply what I needed to hear & learn
Brene’s work is so incredible. They way she can articulate her work into, understandable and awe inspiring epiphanies every time she opens her mouth is why I feel drawn to her. Her passion and dedication to understand human emotions, behaviour and why we do what we do inspires me to be the best version of myself, and to connect and understand people and allow true genuine humanity. As a leader of two businesses, and a mum of three it’s paramount for me to know first and foremost human behaviour and emotions to best manage my children and people, Brene has been my go to for years. Highly recommend!!
