In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling 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.”
