‘Atlas of the Heart’ by Brene Brown
Brene Brown combines her extensive research with her own observations to help shape our understand of ‘what it is to be human’. As we delve deeper into the psychological elements that builds human heart, mind and emotion, Brown brings clarity and a very practical approach. She de-mystifies the ambiguous, weighty character traits of human nature and as we do, we can in turn, understand ourselves and others better. The obvious outcome of this is better building blocks forlife that improve our communication and personal life skills. We can all benefit from such clarity and sharpness of mind in these modern days.
Atlas Of The Heart is a full, encyclopaedia of human nature – “The experiences that make us who we are…and the cultural experiences that have helped define what it means to be courageous in our lives. This gives us power of understanding, meaning and choice…”
Brown has a definitive skill in teaching how we can respond to seasons in our life – seasons of; uncertainty, personal comparison with others around us, when things don’t go as planned, when life goals seem unattainable or beyond our reach, disillusionment or life’s defeats. Brown covers them all in this complete ‘atlas’ to assist us as we course our way through life.
Brown has provided a ‘map’ that gives essential information as we navigate the ups and downs of things we can and can’t control around us. Atlas Of The Heart is far more than mere self-help cliché mantras, it is realistic, confronting and genuine.
It’s a handbook, it’s a reference guide and it is one that will enlighten your mind to assist your grasp of life. It’s a treasured and personal favourite of mine.
