Finally a book that explains to us the different emotions of the heart in a very easy way to understand. This book is very good at labeling emotions and explains the emotions in detail and allows you to classify the emotions. It has pictures and explains emotions in a very easy to understand way. It is an easy read for highly complex emotions. Enables you to recognise the emotion in your self and in others. Well thought and well research. I have been through a few courses and purification of the heart with Hamza Yusuf and attended a course by Mokthar Maghroui. I like how this books explains all these emotions in a very easy to understand way. Shows that Brene Brown is truly an expert in emotion.

About the book: In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brené Brown, writes, “If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.” In  Atlas of the Heart,  Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she 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 ourbravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that buildsconnection. Over the past two decades, Brown’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, as well as on Brown’s singular skills as a storyteller, 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. Brown shares, “I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.”
