Atlas of the Heart

Another “right book, right time” situation for this one. The audiobook is brilliant, it's like a captivating podcast or Ted talk, the author adds so much character and dimension to her book. Emotions seem like such a simple thing, but they are so easy to mess up, misunderstand and miss. This is a quotable, well organized and science based reference to human emotion and how it should function when healthy. If anyone needs therapy, grew up with generational trauma or struggles communicating their needs - this is a book that might help you start digging into that.
