ATLAS OF THE HEART by Brené Brown
Rating: 8/10 reps
Categories: Personal Development
This book is a glossary of feelings.
The whole thing is defining what feelings are and how they are similar or different from other feelings. If that’s not for you just skip this bad boy. But, it probably is.
Feelings are complex and tricky things and someone like Brené Brown is exactly the spirit guide to walk you through all 87 emotions in a way that doesn’t feel like cuddling up with the dictionary. While many of the items she covers are obvious, a lot of the gems and most valuable parts of this book are tucked away in the details of familiar emotions. We’ll leave you with this quote as an example of this kind of insight “To live without regret is to believe we have nothing to learn, no amends to make, and no opportunity to be braver with our lives. Comparison is the crush of conformity from one side and competition from the other—it's trying to simultaneously fit in and stand out”. So ya, that is a mindfuck.
