TuesReviews: Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown

Brené Brown works in shame and vulnerability qualitative psychology research, and is a prolific author.

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown has many valuable definitions to discuss on a plethora of emotions. I found benefit in the anxiety-related emotions section. However, to my chagrin, I only finished 4/5ths of the this book.

Each part could benefit some. For me though, reading every section wore me down until I doubted it was non-maleficent.

Brown should provide more strategies in healing for every negative scenario provided. One such strategy could be mindfulness techniques such I cultivate compassion. I recommend gently checking in with yourself after each part in case you need a breather or to stop.

I tried both the physical AND audiobook versions. The physical book is amazingly beautiful! It's what made me pick up the book initially. I immediately felt compelled to grab it to feel of the embossing against my fingertips.

The audiobook is read by Brown herself, and I'm in awe of her performance. What a skilled public speaker! I doubt many could rival her style. I aspire to speak as she does!

2/5 ⭐️
