Summary

DISCOVER THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF SENSITIVITY

Have you even been told you are being 'too sensitive'? That you should develop a thicker skin? Society tells us that it's bad to be too soft, or feel too much. But is it?

Hannah Jane Walker, a highly sensitive person, has spent years researching sensitivity. Drawing on a wide range of experts, ideas and experiences, Hannah challenges the myth that sensitivity is something negative, and seeks an answer to the question: how useful is sensitivity to the world, and what is it for?

Hannah discovers that high sensitivity is sometimes connected to higher levels of empathy, emotional intelligence and creativity, and that whatever our level of sensitivity, it can be beneficial for us all. Society has undervalued sensitivity, teaching us that only the tough succeed, but this book seeks to change that story. Sensitivity is not a weakness or something to be ashamed of, but an invaluable form of strength, offering so many new ways of looking at the world.

Amazing book. Very healing and educational

This book is one of the best books I've ever read on sensitivity. I love the interviews with experts in sensitivity. I love how the author weaves together the lessons from the interviews with examples from her day to day life.

I had to pause the book at times because I felt such strong emotions come up as I remembered examples of things I've found hard in the past with sudden understandings of my sensitivity trait throughout my life.

I feel really seen and also very empowered in advocating for myself and speaking up for my needs and strengths.

I am so grateful to this book and have sent it yo a few friends who I know will love it. Thank you Hannah for the deep work of this book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
