Publisher's summary

Have others ever told you to "stop being so sensitive"? Have you ever looked at other people and wondered how they manage to get through the day without noticing the suffering going on all around them?

Do you feel so emotionally delicate in comparison to your peers that you have tried to block out what is going on around you? You may have even resorted to coping mechanisms such as overeating, overworking, or smoking as a means of managing your emotions.

Maybe you have tried to "grow a thicker skin", or attempted to cover up your feelings with humor? Perhaps you have always felt different to others since childhood, but could never quite put your finger on why.

If this description resonates with you, congratulations! You may well be an empath.

Unfortunately, an empath who lacks insight into their own nature is likely to be miserable.

Most of us are familiar with the concept of empathy. Aside from sociopaths, who are largely incapable of appreciating what another individual may be feeling, humans are generally able to understand what others are going through in most situations.

Empaths, however, constitute the small group of people who not only understand the emotions of others, but literally feel them too.

In short, an empath takes this common human ability of relating to other peoples' emotions to extremes.

If you have no idea why you are so readily affected by the emotions of others and the events around you, you will become psychologically unstable. You will be unsure as to where your true feelings end, and those of other people begin.

Hypersensitivity can be a burden if not properly managed, which is why it's so important that all Empaths learn to harness the special gift they have been given.

That's where this book comes in. Millions of other people around the world share your gifts and lead happy, fulfilling lives. It's time to learn how to put your rare gift to use, maximize your human potential, and thrive in life!

Very Useful Information

As both a psychotherapist and a highly sensitive person, I have been aware of my own emphatic abilities for many years. Yet in listening to this book I learned new and useful information.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who suspects that they have abilities to sense their environment in ways that seem different than most other people. The book gives useful descriptions of how empaths function and describes both the positive and negative aspects of functioning this way in the world. The book goes on to give suggestions about what empaths may need to learn to do to learn to take care of themselves in different situations.

Teaching these skills is beyond the scope of this book. It describes what they are and gives a few suggestions about where to find the needed resources.

I have found that Logosynthesis, as described in my book, "Letting It Go: Relieve Anxiety and Toxic Stress in Just a Few Minutes Using Only Words" has been very useful in helping me to manage my own tendencies to be overwhelmed by some ordinary environmental situations. Other Energy Therapies would be useful as well.

Very helpful!

This book gave me a lot of insight. I've always been someone that was told I was too sensitive as if it was a bad thing but after listening to this audio, I feel like I got some tools on how to deal with those types of people and also how to use my sensitivity to my own advantage. Very helpful!

Any additional comments?

I am giving a 4 rating (I wanted to give 4.5 but there is no option of selection for 4.5) just because initial chapters were stretched explaining concepts and who are Empath sometimes felt boring (not exact bore feeling)

Well written & enjoyable to listen to.

Very insightful look at the subject. This book has information like how to tell if your a empath. And what kind of people sensitives attract. You'll find plenty of helpful techniques for handling stress and anxiety with suggestions for situations a sensitive person should avoid. If you suspect that you are or may know someone who's empathic​ this book will explain a lot. The narrator spoke clearly and did a good job relating the information. I volunteered to listen to this book in exchange for a free copy. I recommend this book interested in this subject matter.
