About the Event
This month, we continue our journey into becoming more fluent in the language of emotions. We will read and discuss Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown. Brown uses equal parts research and anecdote to show us how to identify and talk about emotions in order to bring us greater connection--to ourselves and the people around us.
If you haven't read Brown before I encourage you to give her a shot. She not only is an attentive and dedicated researcher she is a great storyteller! If you are already a fan you will likely enjoy Atlas of the Heart--it draws on some of her past research and includes quite a bit of new material. She is serious yet irreverent and really funny at time. I read it and listened to Brown read it on Audible (the library has it too.) It lends itself well to the audio version and feels like a good podcast series.
If you can't join us for the in-person discussion consider reading the book anyway. It changes something when many people are mulling over the same ideas.
Atlas of the Heart is available at your local bookstores and at the Lexington Public Library, and online at Bookshop and ThriftBooks and on Kindle Unlimited.
