My sister recommended this one to me. I‘ve heard really great things.

Im a big Brene Brown fan. She‘s a great writer & speaker, so her audio books are a big treat in my book!

I am not a Feelings person but can appreciate, as an editor, the value of having a wide vocabulary to describe said feelings. I will likely pick up my own copy to flip through and revisit.

Enjoyed this audio, as I am navigating difficult times and trying to understand my own emotions better. Also had a chance to page through the hard copy, and it is beautiful. Brené Brown narrates and ad libs anecdotes throughout. Another part I loved in the audio is when she has one of her staff read her own essay she wrote in the book about being an undocumented minor. This audio provides a separate experience from the book, both are lovely.

April was another great month for books, like The Goodbye Coast/Joe Ide and The Book of Cold Cases/Simone St. James, but no book hit me harder than the tagged one. It will definitely be on my list as one of the best books of 2022, probably in the top 3.

Amazing! Brené Brown always make me think, dig deep and consider my feelings and behaviors. This book gave me a lot to think about and I will be thinking about it for a long time. It also gave me some strategies I plan to use at work. Great on #audio ! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is one of the most important books I‘ve ever read. I‘m so thankful that I picked it up and highly recommend the audio version. There‘s a free version on YouTube!

September reading report.

Book 113 of the year.

"Vulnerability is not oversharing, it's sharing with the people who have earned the right to hear our stories and our experiences.

Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage. "

I have no interest in self help unless Brené Brown writes it. Her latest contribution - Atlas of the Heart - was truly phenomenal. She speaks a language we all need to understand.

â­�ï¸�â­�ï¸�â­�ï¸�â­�ï¸�â­�ï¸� I wish I could download this book to my brain! Brené offered a nuance to emotions that I didn‘t know I desperately needed to make sense of literally almost anything one can experience. I saw so much of myself and people I know in the emotions. I feel as one should feel after a mind-expanding book: more connected to humanity and left with more to learn.

����������

Journeying through eighty-seven emotions might not sound like the most exciting adventure, but Brené‘s newest work is psychologically fascinating, providing the language to help us better understand and make meaning of our experiences, and then turn that into deeper connection with others. ⬇ï¸�

���������� I learned a lot about emotions and developing meaningful connections from this beautiful book, and I had fun doing it.

45/150 🤯🤯🤯 Mind. Blown. This book has totally changed the way I view my emotions and definitely how I read emotions in others. I found that I've been using the wrong words to express my feelings all along. I need to buy a print copy so I can reread it, and highlight all the amazing observations. There were times, while walking, that this would hit me so hard, I had to just stop and stand for a few moments. 5 ����� It deserves more!!

Wow, this book is much needed. Loving the feeling I get when I start to understand and take control of my emotions. 87 of our emotions and experiences are outlined in this book and the way it is laid out is so logical. Want to know the actual difference between envy and jealousy? Stress and overwhelm? Awe and wonder? This is the book for you.

80+ emotions in one book? It‘s a lot. And it‘s so good. There are definitely some nuances that will fundamentally change my life. However if you‘re a fan of Brené‘s, many of the stories and examples are the same from her other books, so if you are picking this up for more or new material of Dr. Brown, this isn‘t it. But if you‘re wanting to nerd out about emotions with her, this is it.

Book mail! I had one more redemption code for a free book from the Penguin Random House Readers‘ Reward program and I chose to use it on this. 🙂

Today is a day for Brene Brown, a warm lemon scone with melting, delectable, lick-the-bowl lemon buttercream, and a steaming cup of joe.

Happy happy #bookmail! 🔔�🌲

Last night, I watched the Random House virtual book launch of Brene Brown‘s new book. The book is gorgeous, and I am going to savor it! Took notes last night. Thankful for my local bookstore Main Point Books in Wayne, PA for offering this opportunity to the community.

Dinner with Brene.
