Comforting. Necessary.

This book brought tears to my eyes after hearing its first words. Only an HSP can understand the comfort of being recognised in a world where you have never fitted in. I’m very grateful to the author for bringing the light to this subject. It is more than a subject to me. It’s my life. It’s who I am. Thank you.

One of my best reads yet

What a fine piece of work! It's great to know such detail of research and interest has gone into discovering and understanding people like myself. Dr Aron's book has greatly helped me to understand myself a lot better, and just changes things for me in such a positive way. Thank you!

Workplaces need to read this!

At last! Some insight into HSPs. Fascinating, fun and frank. I enjoyed this book. Slight nasal tone to reader though (sorry HSP to sound).

Warming and comprehensive look at hypersensitives

I quite enjoyed this book. As an HSP, I found it a reassuring and reaffirming voyage through many perspectives and angles. The author helped put the field on the map and her advice is precise and, of course, superbly researched - if at times a little wishy-washy and abstract - no doubt a harder look at cold evidence, for example, brain scans and the like, would have added a more scientific and beneficial stand point.

Essential read

This is a great book for insight into either learning how to better approach and interact with HSPs, or, if you yourself are a HSP then it will give you great insight into seeing this trait as a huge benefit instead of the negative we are taught to perceive.

Very revealing and enlightening!

After struggling with what I now know is an hsp condition since childhood, this book was a total revelation in revealing the source of my troubles. A weight lifted from my shoulders knowing I'm not alone and my perceived shortcomings aren't necessarily a weakness but can be a strength. My only criticism is that I didn't come away with any real strategy for overcoming the many challenges being an hsp presents, just a deep understanding of what being an hsp entails.
