It was mentioned as Bren Brown's latest #1 New York Times bestseller, adapted for television and streaming on HBO Max, exploring 87 human emotions and experiences.
I think I wrote an atlas of the heart.
And I write about it a lot in Atlas, always trying to predict, okay, I see this behavior. I heard this comment. I've got 10 minutes to get both the girls here, find Jason.
I think the whole world's going to be watching Atlas of the Heart on HBO Max.
Episode: 83. Brené Brown: What to Say to Get What You Need
It was discussed as a #1 New York Times Bestseller that was adapted for television. The book was said to have been a difficult book to write, with the author feeling like she wouldn't survive it.
In her latest number one New York Times bestseller, Atlas of the Heart, which has been adapted for television and is now streaming on HBO Max, so good. She takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human.
And I have to tell you that Atlas, I really did not think I was going to survive writing this book. I did not think this book was going to happen almost to the very end.
But I think coming to grips with so many things that I got wrong over the years and thinking about not just, wow, as a social scientist, wow, I didn't get this right, which to me that's fine. That's what science is.
I think one of the big things was there were two big things related. One is what you're talking about, that the depth of connection we have with ourselves is the best predictor variable of how deeply we'll be able to connect with other people.
And I think the second part is, shit, for years, for 20 years, I've said let's try to understand emotion. Let's try to recognize emotion in ourselves and others. And I am fully convinced now that we cannot recognize emotion in other people.

It was described as a guide to defining one's internal emotional self so that it can be translated to others, helping to heal and foster connections. It was also considered challenging and difficult to read.
So this book is a guide to defining our internal selves so that we can translate ourselves to the people we love into the world.
I didn't know going into this book, first of all, oh God, this book was so freaking hard. I wasn't sure I was going to make it through this book, to be honest with you.
It is how do we find our way back to ourselves and to each other? And how do we do it without language, without some kind of understanding of, I love what you said, what this is wild thing happening inside of us.
It's everything you said, Glennon, no splicing necessary. A plus on the book report, Glennon, A plus on the book report.
In her latest book, Atlas of the Heart, which our entire team has spent the last weeks with, she takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human.
