The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World

De: Jenn Granneman, Andre Sólo

Narrado por: Patty Nieman

“This important book reframes the way we think about sensitivity—our own or someone else’s—and shines a light on the great power in being highly attuned to the world.”—Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet

A paradigm-shifting look at a long-undervalued yet hugely beneficial personality trait, from the creators of the world’s largest community for highly sensitive people

“Don’t be so sensitive!”

Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly one in three people have the genes to be more sensitive than others—both physically and emotionally. These are the people who pause before speaking and think before acting; they tune in to subtle details and make connections that others miss. Whether introverted or extroverted, they tend to be bighearted, creative, and wired to go deep, yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way. These are the world’s “highly sensitive people,” and Sensitive is the book that champions them.

From the creators of the world’s largest community for sensitive people, Sensitive teaches us how to unlock the potential in this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of our lives: friendships and intimate relationships, the workplace, leadership, and parenting. Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo—sensitive people themselves—show us that the way to thrive as a sensitive person is not to hide our sensitivity but to embrace it, and how to do that in every area of life. Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, Granneman and Sólo demonstrate how leaning into sensitivity unlocks a powerful boost effect to propel us ahead in life. They hand us the tools and insights we need to thrive as sensitive people in a loud, fast, too-much world.

A powerfully validating, destigmatizing, and practical book, Sensitive plants a gently fluttering flag in the ground for sensitive people everywhere. This inspiring book has the power to change, once and for all, how we see sensitive people—and how they see themselves.

One if the best books that I have read!

Every sensitive person or someone who knows a sensitive person should read this ! This is changing my life !

Surprisingly Comforting to Know

I picked up this book as a recommendation from a friend. I'm so glad I did because I learned a lot that relates to myself as well as the students I teach. I have recommended it to several people already. Its so important to be able to know and sense what's the best thing to do for the sensitive people in our lives. it's written in an informative and positive manner without the reader feeling guilty or victimized.

Incredible book!

I wish I had this maturing up. It explains so much to me. And as I continue to grow in my personal work, definitely adds to my evolution, my understanding, and my self-love. So well written!

Validating!

Incredibly validating and also had a lot of great take-aways. I especially enjoyed the chapter on parenting kids who are highly sensitive — I’d like all of my childrens’ caregivers to read that chapter.

Did anyone else feel a bit exhausted while reading? The examples were overwhelming to this HSP but again, validating and important to read. It also took me a little longer than normal because I went back to re-read so many passages.

Recommend to all HSPs and I recommend chapter 8 to all caregivers of HSP children.

Personal accounts.

I loved the info, the delivery & the intertwined real-life stories. That made all the info very relatable.
