Summary of Brené Brown´s Book Atlas of the Heart

This book is a summary and study guide of the original book Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown

Original Book Plot:

Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human in Atlas of the Heart. She gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances as she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection—a 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.

Brown's significant research into the experiences that determine who we are has changed the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives during the last two decades. Atlas of the Heart builds on this study, as well as Brown's unique storytelling abilities, to demonstrate how precisely identifying an experience does not give the experience more power—it gives us the power of comprehension, meaning, and choice.

"I want this book to be an atlas for all of us," Brown says, "because I believe that with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere without fear of losing ourselves."
