About this listen

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.'

I have this in hardback and audible.

It’s become a bible for my life.

I don’t think I’ll ever learn and absorb it all enough. The research, the insight and the wealth of knowledge. I’ve learned and will continue to learn so much about myself and others from this book.

I’m a therapist in training. I am a law of attraction believer and this book just sits so comfortably with my intentions and beliefs.

It is so wonderfully written and uses language in a way that very complex theory can be understood.

Thank you Brené for again expanding my mind and feeding my soul.

A book that should be read by all x

Such an interesting book. Effectively a dictionary and instruction manual for understanding emotions and their impact in day-to-day life. Entirely worth reading and highly recommended.

Really powerful

This is one of the most important books one can read/listen to. I have my hard copy and also bought this book to many people who are dear to me.

Brené Brown always delivers

If you're a fan of Brené Brown then you will love this audiobook. It's clear, concise, thoughtful and smattered with helpful asides (which I'm assuming aren't in the text version of the book). It's as if a close friend is having a conversation with you.
I think that it really delivers on its aim to develop the language of emotions and introduces and clarifies so many different words. It drills down into the nuances of language and supports and empowers the listener to select the right words carefully. I recognised themes from previous Brené Brown books and this book fleshed them out some more.
The content is remarkable, interesting and based in science and research. I'm going to be listening to this book over and over, I can tell.

Fantastic listen.
