In her latest book, five-time New York Times bestselling author Dr. Brené Brown writes: "If we want to find our way back to ourselves and to each other, we need language and the solid trust to tell our stories as well as to preserve the stories we hear." This is the framework for meaningful connections.

In "Atlas of the Heart," Brown takes us on a journey through 87 emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps out the necessary skills and outlines an actionable framework for meaningful connections, she provides us with the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances – a universe where we can share and preserve the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments in a way that creates connection.

Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that shape us has influenced the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be brave in our lives. "Atlas of the Heart" draws on this research as well as Brown's unique abilities as a researcher and storyteller to present an invaluable, research-based framework that shows that naming an experience does not give it 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 have to fear losing ourselves, even when we have no idea where we are.".
