Brown takes readers 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 an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives readers the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances--a universe where they can share and steward the stories of their 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 people who they are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with one's life. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as on Brown's singular skills as a storyteller, to show how accurately naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power; it gives the power of understanding, meaning and choice.
