Atlas of the Heart
Atlas of the Heart takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As it maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, this book 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 heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
Over the past twenty years, the author’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 to show us how accurately naming an experience doesn’t give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning, and choice.
