A Fresh Outlook!
My Friend and I listened to this audiobook together, and it had a big impact on her. She's always had trouble as a sensitive person (HSP), feeling swamped in social settings and by too much sensory input, but this guide gave her a fresh outlook. The advice on making a calm space and handling social media caught our attention, helping her feel more relaxed and in charge. What she found most encouraging was the concept of turning her sensitivity into an advantage. It was great to see how much it helped her, and I'd suggest it to anyone who feels the same way!

Sensitivity is a strength too
Okay, it might be a bit much to say sensitivity is my superpower, but after listening to this audiobook, it feels so much less daunting. The reflections on the PDF that comes with it are very helpful. I actually printed it out and used it as a notebook. I now feel that sensitivity is what makes me unique and something to embrace. I'll make sure to revisit the wellness tips regularly to keep looking after myself.

Great help to me as an HSP!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this great listen on highly sensitive people (HSPs). As an HSP myself, and in observing the traits in both of my children, I found this audiobook to be eye-opening. I hadn’t researched the topic much before, so Beckett's thorough presentation provided valuable insights. It's especially helpful for young adults heading to college, navigating roommate or dorm life, or the young person contemplating career choices. But it’s also a fantastic resource for anyone trying to understand HSPs—whether themselves or others.
I appreciated how Beckett backed his suggestions with data, making the advice feel credible, not just personal opinion. You can tell the author truly experiences HSP and is passionate about helping others through compassionate and meaningful insights presented with a positive outlook. HSP is not a negative trait but rather someone who is compassionate and can intuitively and genuinely empathize with others. But an HSP individual needs to understand how to navigate life to also care for themselves! This information will help with that.
One of the biggest surprises for me was the Body-Mind section, which addressed things like GI issues, anxiety, depression, and even migraines—connections I hadn't made before but now realize make so much sense! The suggestions, like trying the FODMAP diet to calm the GI, resonated with me, and I believe this could help both my son and me.
I also loved the journaling suggestions at the end of each chapter. They tie everything together, making it easier to reflect upon and apply the information. The recap at the end was a fantastic addition, especially for audiobook listeners, as it made it easy to reference these after completing the listen.
I’ll definitely be listening to this again and taking notes! I highly recommend this audiobook (or book) for a young adult who suspects they might be an HSP, or really for anyone who wants to better understand the challenges HSPs face. Well done, Jordan Beckett!

Perfect timing!
I’m very glad I come across this book at this particular time in life, where my children are making this important transition into adulthood. The author provides relevant information, encourages self reflection and journaling exercises, which definitely help put things into perspective.
Valuable insights, experience, compassion and knowledge are contained in this very well self narrated book.

Compassionate and practical strategies
If you have ever felt different because of your sensitive nature, this book will help you reduce anxiety and learn how to best work through social anxieties and dealing with toxic people. You may feel very alone but in reality 15-20% of people are born with a nervous system that's super tuned into the world's subtleties. This book is specific to young adults who are highly sensitive and how to turn your sensitivity into a superpower.
This book focuses on not trying to not trying to fix you, because you're not broken but instead offering insights and strategies to help you embrace your unique traits and make it a strength. I liked the strategies for forming deep connections with others because in this world, it is so easy to have surfaced and fake relationships so learning how to build a connection is key. I like that the author shared tips on creating personal space that can be peaceful, especially in a very busy environment.
Chapter 8 is a great chapter to focus on, exploring harmful thought patterns and cognitive distortions. Chapter 7 is pretty critical to focus on as well as it reviews the realm of social media overwhelm. Where there are so many digital interactions and it has pretty much-become part of life, we need to find ways to use social media in a healthier and more mindful manner.
