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

Don’t miss the five-part HBO 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 get entry to a universe of new choices and second chances—a universe where we will be able to share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one any other 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, in addition to on Brown’s singular skills as a storyteller, to show us how as it should be 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 consider that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we will be able to go back and forth anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.”
