About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

In her latest book, five-time number one New York Times best-selling author Dr Brené Brown writes, 'If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.'

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us 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 lays out 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 heart-breaking 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 Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable research-based framework that shows us that 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 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. Even when we have no idea where we are.'

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A great listen. Nothing beats a reading that feels like a conversation. Feels like a deep dive and one where there are many beacons along the way. In listening I feel a great call for courage to make changes in my journey.
Thank you!

This is one of my most favourite, author narrated audio books. The additional stories, anecdotes and explanations included, and expressed exactly as intended, are gold. I hit repeat straight after listening and have recommended endlessly already. Brené is a queen.

Fantastic descriptions and thoroughly researched and referenced. I love the way Beene speaks as I’m discussion and will double back on moments you may read twice if reading from a paperback. Also love how she describes the diagrams in the book. Highly recommend

Well described - a guide to understanding our emotions
