Sensitive Is the New Strong: The Power of Empaths in an Increasingly Harsh World by Anita Moorjani

I read only what I found interesting. Which means I skipped a lot of stuff. That seems to be how I handle most of these types of nonfic books. I took the quiz and found I am a full-on empath that I am mystic. Wow, look at me! I did enjoy reading this book (the stuff I did read) and may have to read some of the author's other books.

This reads more like an autobiography than a self-help book. It was very light on science & facts & far too much on auras, shakras, energies talk for my taste. Was looking for something completely different.

** I received a free ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. **
This book isn't what I expected it to be. I definitely wasn't expecting lots of info of empath's absorbing other's energy and reading people's auras. I thought it would be geared toward more "sensitive" people. While I feel like I have some empath traits, it's clearly not enough traits to feel like this book was overly beneficial to me. Might be a good read for others, but it just wasn't for me.

Not based on a lot of research, but I really liked all the points she made about it being okay to love yourself and set boundaries and say no in order to help yourself.

This self-help book is written with empaths in mind, as Moorjani identifies as an empath and she experienced a “near death experience” in which she walked in another realm during her cancer journey. She’s a survivor. She wrote this book as an “inspirational guide for sensitive people looking to hardness their gifts of intuition and empathy”. With that in mind, I was hoping this book would give me some advice on how to deal with my own sensitivity. I may identify with some empath characteristics, but I wouldn’t say I am a complete empath after reading this book.
If anything, I felt turned off because of how it started off with her experience with a higher spiritual person telling her she’s different, and her energy is different, and he will “reset” it for her. She said no one has ever spoken to her that way. Many parts of the book was mostly about how she wants others to portray her to be or how she thinks she comes off. I felt it was stroking her ego a bit.
This is not to say that this book was poorly written but I had a hard time getting through it.
Thank you Atria/Enliven Books & Netgalley for this ARC!
