Summary

Are you a highly sensitive person? Here's the essential course to thrive in the world.

Are you sensitive to bright lights, loud noises, strong smells, or coarse fabrics?
Do other people’s moods and needs strongly affect you?
On busy days, do you ever wish you could withdraw to a quiet, private place?
Are you deeply moved by the arts or music?
Do you have a rich inner life?

If so, you may be an HSP.

In her groundbreaking 1996 book The Highly Sensitive Person, Dr. Elaine Aron first brought the trait to light, validating the unique lives of one-fifth of the population.

With this in-depth audio learning program - taught by Elaine herself, a fellow HSP - she invites us to learn the full scope of what we now know about high sensitivity, including many new research findings and life strategies.

Join her to explore:

  • What high sensitivity is
  • How to assess if you're an HSP
  • Compelling research
  • The five key needs of HSPs
  • Self-care essentials for thriving in our overstimulating world
  • Succeeding in intimate relationships and at work
  • Supporting the highly sensitive child
  • And much more...

"High sensitivity is neither a disorder nor a reason to brag," Elaine Aron makes clear. "It's an asset that we need to protect and use." With this immersive learning experience, she offers an essential, in-depth resource to help us do so.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Be patient cause its worth it

Definitely slow pacing at the start you need to have patience. The authors voice is a bit odd at the beginning but quite comforting when you get used to it. The last 4 chapters are the most interesting in my opinion. One thing that i found boring is the research data. I know those data give credibility to the HSP concept but i found this chapter quite boring to be honest

Joined all the dots for me

I really enjoyed listening to Elaine’s voice. Her research, experience and personal insights really answered so many questions that I have had about myself and others. It felt incredibly reassuring to feel known and understood, that certain ways of doing things are not unique to me. It gave me a new confidence to now reappraise my experiences so that my HSP children or others can perhaps benefit from the reframing of certain feelings and situations. I will certainly go over some of the reflections exercises and really take onboard her very practical and accessible advice around self care. I can’t help wish I had read this 25 years ago. All that negative energy wasted but better late than never and others may benefit now too. Thank you so much Elaine.

A life changer

Excellent research and very well written. A true reflection of a hidden trait unknown to the majority of us.

really helped me

I would recommend having a notebook beside you as listen so you can note down the phrases that jump out to you so you can think about them clearly later.

Helpful, thought provoking & calming

Very useful as an HSP. Less into the Spirituality chapter, personally. Last chapter particularly helpful

Actively made me feel hopeless and depressed

If you are a highly sensitive person who has not had the breaks in the creative, academic or corporate worlds that the author assumes we are all entitled to, please avoid this book. Most people are simply not able to make the adjustments in their lives she suggests e.g. take 1 out of 4 weeks off work to find their calm place. Yeah, right.

The generalisations are astounding. Having told us that roughly a third of HSPs are extroverts, the author then works to the assumption we are all shy, retiring, misunderstood geniuses. We just need be a little more assertive to blossom and be appreciated. For most of us, it's a little more complicated than that, but we are mere mortals. Despite her assertion that HSPs are modest, we learn that she and her husband are GREAT! I skipped large parts because they were deeply irrelevant e.g her endless observations on boardrooms in "corporate" workplaces.

Her brief observations about status and depression finished me off. She offered no constructive advice about dealing or living with the low status that often makes HSPs depressed, let alone changing it. I'd struggled through depression recently and was on the up. She pitched me straight on the down again.

She includes a bit of interesting science toward the start, but otherwise no good advice here for anybody living outside the author's ivory tower.

Too many bells!

Very frequent pauses during which one is instructed to think, punctuated by the ringing of a bell. Really irritating (or am I over sensitive!) Nothing new or profound to think about either, unfortunately.
