Atlas of the Heart

Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

De: Brené Brown

Narrado por: Brené Brown

Number one New York Times best seller

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 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 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.”

Wish more authors would present audiobooks like Brene

I haven’t finished listening to this book yet, but wanted to write a review to encourage others to join this audiobook experience because, in addition to the great content, it’s the best audiobook I’ve listened to. I did a deep dive into Dr. Brown’s work over the last month and have listened to four of her audiobooks and many podcasts. They keep getting better. What I really enjoy about this book is that Brene—an audiobook listener herself—stops and rereads sections to connect the text for understanding for those of us who (like me) are walking, biking, cooking, etc., while they listen. It’s effective for me, and I’m really enjoying the experience, especially the little extra comments and reflections she inserts. Thank you, Brene, and great job presenting your audiobook as a conversational learning experience for listeners.

A must read for everyone!

So great to get educated on what affects us everyday! I'm incredibly appreciative Brene leads us down a path we want to go but may not know how.

Great book! Bad lefty politics for no reason!

I absolutely love Brene Brown! Such wonderful information and research! Useful and valuable beyond measure. Could definitely do without the hard left politics casually tossed in though. Funny how unaware people can be of their own divisive ways of thinking but see it so clearly in others. Try looking in the middle for truth... Maybe try turning off the news and social media for a week or so and see how you feel about all these silly politics and such. Love is the answer! Love for everyone, not just your political team!✌️😘

Overall pretty good

I have loved all of Brené Browns books, especially Daring Greatly. My only issue is the amount of politics brought into this one. She says she tries to stay neutral and non-judgement, but makes it pretty clear what side she’s on isn’t talking from center.

Where is the pdf?

The pdf with illustrations is not available in my audible library. I was looking forward to seeing the visuals as they were connected to the text.

My Favorite Brene Book Yet

This was my favorite Brene Brown book yet. Lots of connections & aha moments. I also appreciate that she understands people listen to her books differently than when they are reading her books and so she describes visuals, re-reads an important quote, etc. This is one I’m excited to listen to more than once.

It’s a true Atlas of the Heart!

I decided to listen to this on Audible as I’m always in a hurry. This way I can listen for my self care and also do all the things for everyone else. After chapter 2 I said oh my gosh I’ve got to order the book and get out the yellow hi lighter! My Mother’s legacy.
I just finished listening to the book backing it up just about the whole time over and over! The next step was buying the book, and to listen while reading the book in hand. I will be very intentional on highlighting anything and everything that touches me and opens me up to be a better person. The book is so beautiful by the way. A classic. A keeper.
I’ll start that next week and I cannot wait! This is one of the best things I have done for myself in a long time thanks to my daughter reminding me that Brene’ Brown had a new book! She too has read twice or three times and listened. I have been very intentional on listening only when I could completely absorb emotionally and mentally. Do not miss this opportunity to fill yourself with raw goodness and the knowledge we all need to help in this world by being our better selves which in turn helps all of humanity.
PS
You can feel Brene’ Browns beauty all the way through!

brilliant!

I loved listening to Brené reading this book. like mentioned in other reviews I appreciate that the author recognized that listening is not the same as reading the physical book. I highly recommend reading the physical book as well. I will be referring back to this book many times. Thanks so much for this amazing book!

A must read book.

I absolutely love this book, I think everyone should read it or listen to. I recommend it.

Can’t go wrong!

Loved this book and Brené Browns writing. All of it!
Makes us get in touch with our own essence. Where we should all end up.
