description: 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 chancesa 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.
