The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Survive and Thrive When the World Overwhelms You by Elaine N. Aron

informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

I think I just went into this book expecting something different and honestly a bit more helpful. I know I'm highly sensitive and I'd heard this book being recommended and I thought it could help me and offer some advice. But it just didn't do enough and I got more information about how I may have been as an infant compared to advice on myself as an adult. I also felt like Aron never really said anything concrete, she'd write along the lines of 'you might want to go out in the evening to push yourself or stay in and listen to what your body needs'. I know that already, and I just needed more from it.
