Review: This may be the best book I have read in years - This may be the best book I have read in years. Maybe a decade. I was a year and a half into a very stressful job with a bully boss when I found this book -- I'd heard about it for years but thought the title sounded girlie and wimpy so I hesitated to read it. I don't like gooey, emotional, sappy stuff. Well guess what... no sap here. Or at least so little sap that a person who doesn't like sappy didn't really notice. Instead I found a smart, astute, science-based book which explained to me why I was slowly dying at my job, why I could not sleep at night, and why I was so stressed at work that I literally could not stomach my sandwich at lunch but would almost throw it up every day (but I could eat at home) -- I was operating at a level of physical stress which was impossible for a highly sensitive person to sustain, and yet I was somehow sustaining it. (I am very stubborn.) Once I actually looked at myself, looked at my actual situation, stopped blaming myself for being "weak" and "broken" and "not tough enough" and stopped trying to be what I am not, I saw clearly that I was ignoring my physical body's symptoms of extreme stress and hurting myself bad. Reading this was a wake up call at a time in my life when I really needed it, and gave me enough confidence to finally stand up to my impossible to please, bullying, manipulative boss and just quit. I am going back to school and retraining to become a software developer so that I can work in an environment that won't kill me. Not everyone is the same; everyone has different physical tolerances. If you find yourself "too sensitive" etc, give yourself a break. You are not a clone of the extrovert next to you. Pay attention to your body and read this book. IF YOU ARE AN EXTROVERT, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. If you are NOT highly sensitive, please read this book!!! I wish to God every human being would read this book so people could finally start understanding each other, and society in general would stop hurting those among them who are not built with the same nervous system that the 80% majority of humanity has!!!! This has nothing to do with race boundaries, religion, nationality... this is all about pure genetics and how our species (in fact how over 100 species on this planet) function. It's ground breaking work.
Review: Great Read! - Great book to learn about yourself. I have ADHD and since having a baby, I have become very sensitive. I know hormones take a part in that as well. This taught me a lot about myself and how to manage being hypersensitive. There is also one on being in a relationship as a hypersensitive person loving a non-hypersensitive person but also how to love someone who might be as equal hypersensitive as you are. She breaks down her research and you get insight from everyone's point of view, how you see the world differently and how you navigate the world. There is also a workbook with this one, I didn't get a chance to purchase it with this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This may be the best book I have read in years
*by A***E on April 9, 2017*

This may be the best book I have read in years. Maybe a decade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An insightful book about self acceptance
*by L***A on July 22, 2012*

I'm writing this review motivated by the negative reviews I read. I think this book has been misunderstood. Like I said in the title it's about self acceptance. I don't know how it's been marketed because I figured I was a highly sensitive person myself and I looked for material to read about it in order to educate myself and not to find help (I don't need help). I think some people went for this book looking for a '10 step cure for over sensitiveness' and got disappointed. First of all THERE IS NOTHING WRONG with highly sensitive people. We are just different, what makes me happy is what makes ME happy not what makes YOU or HIM or HER or my mother, my father, my boyfriend happy. That's something this book as helped me accept and understand. Just because we don't conform to the society's rule doesn't mean there is something wrong with us and that's the biggest problem an introvert or a highly sensitive person have. I advocate to think of highly sensitive people as we all should think of people with special needs or example. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG TO BE FIXED we are just different. Like Elaine mentions in the book, highly sensitive people have many traits that can be useful to society. We are just misunderstood and mistreated which leads us to believe there is something to be fixed, which makes us go look for the idealistic '10 step' book. Those books by the way, when it comes to personal problems, hardly ever work. That's because individuals are that, individuals we are all different and have to learn who we are and learn to deal with ourselves. This book is very insightful and has helped me see that there are other people out there who are like me, that I'm not the freak society makes me, that I don't need professional help because there is nothing wrong with me. It explains what a highly sensitive person is, how it's different than being an introvert or just shy and why we are that way. Some people might be sensitive in other ways and have not identified with this. We are a minority after all. I think this book does society a great service just by helping us highly sensitive to understand ourselves and be able to function to our full potential. I just didn't give it a five star because the writing could indeed use some help, a few typos here and there but overall it's easy to understand.
