Mapping the complexity of our emotions with the help of communication

? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Will we ever really understand the inner workings of what we feel?Atlas ofthe Heart is renowned psychologist Brené Brown’s latest exploration of humanity’s complex emotions. Brown helps us navigate through nearly ninety feelings and sentiments through mappings and illustrations in which she helps readers develop the necessary linguistic skills to establish deeper understandings of who they are, and improve how they communicate and relate to others. The author uses scientific evidence to peel off blanket emotions like “anger” and dissect what lies beyond those: Confusion, guilt, shame, helplessness, and loneliness are but a few of what a single word attempts, and often fails, to cover.
