niniane 's review for:
The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You
by Elaine N. Aron
I read this book to better understand people who are highly sensitive. The book is detailed and upbeat.
It talks about how HSP are easily overstimulated, and they feel emotions more intensely. They notice subtleties. They pause to check before acting. They like to get the details right. They care about doing a good job. They get overwhelmed by noise, parties, loud music.
The last chapter about spirituality and "signs" from higher beings was annoying, and it's why I docked a star. It went on and on about "signals from a higher being" such as seeing a beetle and then seeing a beetle-black appliance.
If you skip the last chapter, the rest of the book is very clear and factual.
