Brené Brown (!!) presents her new book, ATLAS OF THE HEART. December 2, 7:00 p.m. CST

We’re very excited to be able to present, in association with Penguin Random House, a unique, never-to-be-repeated online event with the mega-selling author and superstar Brené Brown, who will be speaking about her brand-new book, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience.

In Atlas of the Heart, Brené Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances—a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.

She writes, “In a sea of constant uncertainty and change, Atlas of the Heart is a book about finding the solid ground within us, and safely navigating our way back to ourselves and each other. This book offers a collection of tools, including new language that helps us more accurately talk about our emotions and experiences and a new model for cultivating meaningful connection.”

Tickets to this event are available here. A hard cover first edition of the book is included with the price of the ticket. You can choose whether to have the book mailed to you or if you would to pick it up in store. We will email you the link to watch about 48 hours ahead of the event itself.
