doris: I recently picked up Brené Brown's book, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience. This book is 336 pages powerful powerful exploration of the impact that meaningful connection has on our lives and how to cultivate deeper relationships with ourselves and those around us. Throughout the book, Brown draws on her years of research and experience to provide readers with insights into how to foster meaningful connections.
The book begins with an exploration of the different types of relationships we have in our lives, such as friendships, romantic relationships, family relationships, and more. Brown delves into the importance of understanding the differences between these types of relationships and how to recognize when we are engaging in unhealthy patterns of interaction. She then provides readers with strategies to cultivate healthier patterns of interaction in our lives. The next section of the book is focused on the language of connection. Brown explains how our words can have a large impact on the way we interact with others. She provides readers with examples of how to use words to create meaningful connections with others, as...

Sebastian Calderon: An amazing book for anyone that wants to learn more about their emotions, and know how to properly name what they're feeling. If you want to increase your emotional intelligence, this is a great starting point. Ms. Brown's prose is also quite engaging and easy to read, educational without sounding patronizingly intellectual.

KT: The very final section (doesn't even have a chapter number) is called Cultivating Meaningful Connection. I believe that section should be at the very beginning (and then maybe make a note at the very end of the last chapter to go back and read it again after finishing the rest of the book). There are interesting concepts in that final section that I would have like to have had in mind as I read through the entire book. I feel that the whole thing would have been even more powerful if one does that.
Otherwise, the book is incredibly helpful. It is a great conversation piece for a book club!

G_ali: I was on a trip when i downloaded the audio of the book which made me want to follow it up by reading it while listening to it. I didnt think it would be that big and wide, it reminded me of collage books . I will be reading it soon.

BlueSkies: "Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience" is giftable and physically substantial. The book is weighty; the thick, glossy pages are photo book quality. My copy even smelled sweet. Like all Brene Brown books, throughout it, you'll find many passages and memorable lines worth pondering because Brene Brown has a remarkable gift for turning a phrase. The cartoon illustrating how not to "tap out" during a difficult conversation is helpful. (It is exactly what you'd find in a college-level Interpersonal Communication text book.)
The reason for my 2-star review is that "Atlas of the Heart" fails to provide the guidance about "meaningful connection" that it promises. Essentially, the book is premised on the belief that ordinary people, non-researchers, don't know how to name their emotions, nor do they know how to recognize them. And so, the book is filled with short instruction on 87 emotions. Each instruction begins with Brene Brown's definition of a term. It is followed by something along the lines of "You THINK you know what X is. What I have learned is Y."
You THINK you know what disappointment is, or grief, or gratitude, or...
