Editorial Review:
Are you a highly sensitive person?
Do you have a keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential to you as food and water? Are you "too shy" or "too sensitive" according to others? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you? If your answers are yes, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).
Most of us feel overstimulated every once in a while, but for the Highly Sensitive Person, it's a way of life. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Elaine Aron, a psychotherapist, workshop leader and highly sensitive person herself, shows you how to identify this trait in yourself and make the most of it in everyday situations. Drawing on her many years of research and hundreds of interviews, she shows how you can better understand yourself and your trait to create a fuller, richer life.
In The Highly Sensitive Person , you will discover:
* Self-assessment tests to help you identify your particular sensitivities
* Ways to reframe your past experiences in a positive light and gain greater self-esteem in the process
* Insight into how high sensitivity affects both work and personal relationships
* Tips on how to deal with overarousal
* Informations on medications and when to seek help
* Techniques to enrich the soul and spirit

And all this time, I thought something was wrong with me...  2008-06-24
Not only is there nothing wrong with me, my HSP traits are an asset! Finally, a positive book on being highly sensitive. Dare I say, this book is my bible. I made my brother read it too, and he found it extremely helpful also. I am grateful for this book. Thank you Elaine.
Didn't quite hit the mark  2008-06-10
I bought this book with the recommendation/ suggestion from a friend. Based on the info from Amazon, I thought it might be a helpful read. But after obtaining the book, I discovered it doesn't really describe me as much as we guessed. I'm taking that as good news (no sense taking on another label).
The author does a really nice job of reassuring readers that being an HSP is ok. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and that success and happiness are still within reach. So a very nice, concrete, positive book. Lots of practical exercises and things to ponder, but if you aren't really a "highly sensitive person", it falls rather flat.
The Highly Sensitive Person 2008-02-10
I wish I would have found out about this book years ago. I feel like someone wrote my autobiography. I feel validated and also excited to know that there are others who are like myself, Highly Sensitive. The most important thing is that despite my difficult childhood, and sensitive nature I have been able to be a very successful person. Lastly, I am embarking on new territory with the help of a HSP therapist who is helping me to work through some deep seated pain. It is through her recommendation that I found this book. I am eternally grateful.
Finally Knowing I Belong 2007-12-06
I found comfort in every word of this book. Reading it validated that I am not only "not crazy", but that I have something wonderful to offer this de-sensitized world of ours. It's taken me many years, but I am finally realizing that being "different" can and usually is a genuinely good thing! All those years of hearing people describe me as "overly sensitive" as if it were some major character flaw certainly left their mark on me. Now, however, I can look upon my sensitivity as a gift - as something special and unique. I am happy being me. I am happy to have this book on my shelf. It has become a haven where I dwell when I need reminded that I belong, just as I am.

I love this book!
It's like it was written just for me.
For years I've felt out of place and odd because I can't stand loud noises, loud restaurants, crowds and many other things like that.
This book explains that I was born that way and that there are "others" out there like me.
This book was recommened to me by a counselor.
She told me that in her opinion I was a highly sensitive person.
I went on the author's web site. Read up on it, took the test and immediately ordered it.
I can't begin to describe how much better I feel as I read chapter after chapter.
I would recommend you go to the web site and take the test to see if you might be highly sensitive also.
