Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 19,893 ratings

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Atlas of the Heart, 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 be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.”

Don’t miss the five-part Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart!

In
Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven 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.”

Living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall. It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong. Brené Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, & brave the wilderness. Based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, & culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up & lead. A timely and important book that challenges everything we think we know about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organizations, and culture. In hardcover for the first time, this tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing book features a new foreword and brand-new tools to make the work your own.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of December 2021: In Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown unpacks the complex web of emotion, behavior, and thoughts that are triggered by our experiences, and gives us the nuanced language to fully understand our feelings and express them to others. At first glance, this seems like a very thorny subject, but Brown engages the reader through anecdotes, humor, and data to create a narrative that makes total sense. The book’s map metaphor and chapter titles guide readers through the places we go when we are experiencing different emotions, illustrating how a seemingly singular emotion or experience—regret, for example—has multiple categorizations (six in this case), each of which feels distinct from the others. As I read Atlas of the Heart I had the overwhelming sense that Brown “got” me so clearly it gave me the chills, and I think others will also feel seen, understood, and changed for the better by what this book has to offer. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

Great book that helps us name, define and understand the emotions we experience. Not a “how to” or “10 easy steps” book, but you are definitely left with a lot to think about that can lead to how we’d want to do things differently. I learned a lot about the power of language/words when trying to understand emotions and their impact in my life. Brene writes with vulnerability, curiosity, and clarity. Loved this book. Will re-read and refer to it often.

Atlas of the Heart is chock full of pertinent information for just about anyone desiring to increase their wellness and/or work their way through trauma, loss, grief and sadness.

I love the way Brené Brown is so vulnerable, using her own experiences to share how a process helped her. It is so easy to apply the concepts she offers because they are broken down into easily understood sections.

I may be done with my first reading of Atlas of the Heart by you can be guaranteed I will be rereading and using it as a reference for the rest of my life. This book is highly recommended.

This was the first book of Brené's that I had ever read. I first found it not long after she had released the audio book version. First and foremost I love that Brené herself reads the audiobook version. Her sweet southern accent and passion for her work can be heard in every passage and truly brought this book to life for me. Flash forward to now and I have not only listened to the audiobook several times, I've seen the HBO Max special for Atlas of the Heart, listened to the 3 part book club series on Brené's podcast Unlocking Us discussing Atlas with her sisters, I have also just purchased the hard copy of Atlas for a coffee table book. Because it is truly just that good. I wanted a quick reference guide that I could pick up and flip to the emotion I or a loved one might be feeling in the moment and be able to dig deeper to help process it in that moment. I recommend this book to literally anyone who will listen. Atlas is a pleasureable, easy read, that expands our knowledge and vocabulary around the deep and meaningful experience of being human. Doesn't get much better than that!

I recently picked up Brené Brown's book, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience. This book is 336 pages powerful powerful exploration of the impact that meaningful connection has on our lives and how to cultivate deeper relationships with ourselves and those around us. Throughout the book, Brown draws on her years of research and experience to provide readers with insights into how to foster meaningful connections.
The book begins with an exploration of the different types of relationships we have in our lives, such as friendships, romantic relationships, family relationships, and more. Brown delves into the importance of understanding the differences between these types of relationships and how to recognize when we are engaging in unhealthy patterns of interaction. She then provides readers with strategies to cultivate healthier patterns of interaction in our lives. The next section of the book is focused on the language of connection. Brown explains how our words can have a large impact on the way we interact with others. She provides readers with examples of how to use words to create meaningful connections with others, as well as how to recognize when we are not connecting with others in a healthy way.The last section of the book is dedicated to understanding the power of meaningful connection. Brown provides readers with insight into how our relationships can provide us with a sense of belonging, purpose, and connection to something larger than ourselves. She also explains how to use meaningful connections to help heal ourselves and others.Overall, I found Atlas of the Heart to be an illuminating and inspiring book. Brown's insights into the language of connection and the power of meaningful relationships are thought-provoking and help us to better understand the importance of cultivating deeper relationships with ourselves and those around us. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to deepen their connections with those in their lives. Definitely a thought provoking book!

This is an excellent book. That is why I ordered it. But Amazon consistently sends me hard copies of books that are all banged up! The corner is ruined. So I can either take my TIME and return it - or keep the ruined one! This is ridiculous. The paper back books were fine... but clearly they all slid around in the box... OR it was ruined and they packed it anyway - because it is the only thing damaged... not the other four books! And the shipping box is fine!

 O livro é simplesmente maravilhoso! Um livro tão valioso e caro, mas recebi num envelope de plastico-bolha com pequenos furos e atrito por toda parte. A Amazon poderia ter sido mais atenciosa na embalagem de um item como este. O livro poderia ter sido enviado lacrado, numa embalagem mais resistente, de papelão, uma vez que possui uma jacket que envolve a capa dura e jackets são super delicadas. Sendo assim, recebi o livro com um ponto da jacket avariado. Apesar disto, fica a experiência de ter em mãos este maravilhoso livro que eu tanto queria!

5.0 out of 5 stars A roadmap to a better self, not a book of answers, only you have answers with the provided map.
Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2021
Lets be open about how I see Brene Brown. I have read all her books, many twice. For those who know her other material you know you are going to cry at some point. Those tears have always been about connections gained, lost or missed.

I have purchased this book in its physical form which is well worth it because of the nature of its layout. I have now purchased it on kindle for the purpose of further study and portability. However also for the the additional purpose of leaving a review. I want to leave a review because I see other reviews that are completely missing the point. This book is a map not a book of answers. Maps represent possibility it is up to you if you want to go on the adventure. Your individuality and uniqueness make it impossible to find direct answers as to what you require to become whole. You have to use the map and be willing to go on the journey.

Now about the crying…

Brene is getting closer to truths. The other books two or three good bawls each. This one I am now only one sixth completed and already have surpassed all the others.

I am in the journey, following the map. It is scary, painful, but in a certain way provides the elation of freedom after going through the pain.

Thanks to Brene and her team for this.

I have now finished the book over a two day read marathon. My opinion of the content has not changed. Still very positive. As noted this becomes your own personal journey, I found it worthwhile and will re-read the book again very soon. Yes, I found it that important.

An interesting thing about the physical book and all it’s emotional content I found myself stroking the book and pages as if to make a connection with the book. The physical form of the book makes it a worth while purchase. The layout of the book creates a connection of sorts with the content of the book. I don’t have answers about this, I just found it interesting.

I wish you well on your own journey.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2024
I'm British and though the stereotypical "keep calm and carry on" attitude has helped in certain situations it generally hasn't been great for us expressing our emotions or providing us the language to identify feelings. This book goes a long way in helping provide the lexicon and understanding of what feelings a person might be experiencing and providing a map of where and how that fits into the rainbow of human emotion.
