Introduction
Research has found that most of us only articulate a few basic emotions.
We use the terms happy, sad, or angry for feelings that are much more complex, but we don't have the accurate vocabulary to name them.
To make sense of complicated, nuanced emotions – and ultimately take responsibility for them – we have to understand the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that are at the root of our experienced sensations.
Research professor and author Brené Brown combined the research of hundreds of studies with her own work to identify and explain 87 distinct emotions and human experiences in Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience.
Brown is also the author of Daring Greatly and Rising Strong.
