A shining light on an under acknowledged people

Thank you for this, I've always been aware I was sensitive but I felt as though I was almost being read like a book. Giving me a greater understanding and appreciation for what I am as a person. I recommend this to anyone that feels like a bit of an oddball or black sheep, this will most likely help you in your journey.

Insightful, helpful, science based

Highly recommend this book to anyone who suspects they are highly sensitive. I loved how it uses Elaine’s and others scientific research to support the trait of high sensitivity and how she frames it as a different trait that is neither inferior nor superior, whilst still showing HSPs their strengths and the positive things that come with being highly sensitive.

A great journey in getting to know and understand myself.

I found this book incredibly helpful in learning about myself and coming to terms with my sensitive nature. So many past experiences can be understood now.

If you believe you are a sensitive person this book will greatly improve your self awareness.

Very Interesting

I listened to this book after reading The Highly Sensitive Child which I also enjoyed. I was worried the content might double up but it didn't and I found both books to be well worth the time.

Understand HSP’s

Helped me understand and embrace myself as a HSP. Would be great if non HSPs read this to understand us better.
