Atlas of the Heart, Brené Brown—a popular public speaker, bestselling


author, and professional social worker—provides a guide to the many
emotions and mental states that people feel. Brown says many people can
only recognize and name three emotions: happiness, sadness, and anger. This
lack of vocabulary blocks us from being able to fully experience and share our
feelings with others.

Atlas of the Heart  provides descriptions and explanations of 87 emotions, along


with the situations where you’re likely to encounter them. With a deeper
understanding of emotions, you’ll be able to talk about them more openly and
accurately, and thus form deeper connections with the people around you.

This guide provides actionable advice for handling negative emotions and
embracing positive ones. It will also provide some biological and psychological
background for why we have certain feelings and why those feelings are so
powerful.
