This book opened my eyes to a more accurate understanding of emotions, as well as naming and painting pictures of once I had not out my finger on. It helps create a more varied and eloquent vocabulary for my inner experience and my observations of others.

Somewhat surprised by the content and the style of writing. Comes across as a text book or reading material for academia. Not sure it’s applicable to business or corporate leadership. It’s a stretch to make that connection …. Found a few nuggets. Definitely not what I expected for sure.

Might be the most helpful book I have ever read- and I’ve read a lot. I keep referring back to her named feelings for the remedies. If I’d learned how to properly deal with my feelings like this before now (I’m 50) I know my relationships would have been better and maybe I wouldn’t be alone. Until now the only tools I had were to stuff the emotions down (like Spock) or run away. Thank God for you, Brene.

Having read most all of Berene’s work leading up to this one, it’s incredible to see how (just like us), her learnings and assumptions twist and turn and grow and develop and blossom into something beautiful over all this time. Atlas of the Heart puts into words what we feel and know (or have no idea we know) in such a way that you go back and read one of her passages again and again and think, “WOW- if that isn’t hitting the nail dead on the head”…… Brene Brown, thank you.

Highly recommend. Being able to give language to feelings is such gift to the world.

This book is a reference of emotions and all 87 emotions as Brene Brown takes you on the journey of defining all 87. It’s based on research and I give her a lot of accolades for the research completed to develop this book however, data is not a real life human being and so it is not going to be a one size fits all type of life. Extremely disappointed!
