Emotions – we feel them every second of every day, yet we have such a limited vocabulary to express them. How do we go beyond happy and sad?

In Atlas of the Heart (2021), Brené Brown aims to equip us with all the language tools we need to map out the wide spectrum of feelings we experience. She doesn’t tell us how we’re supposed to feel, or how to deal with emotions when they come up – it’s simply an emotional encyclopedia. Brown puts emotions into related groups, then goes into the details to help us better comprehend them and communicate them to those around us. The goal is to build deeper, more authentic connections on a foundation of mutual understanding.
