Aron's own site, so I won't take up space here reviewing it, but if you're an HSP or have an HSP in your life, it's essential reading/listening and will help you understand the HSP nature. You can find plenty about this book elsewhere on the web and on Dr.

She sounds in the rest of the book just as she does in the sample. Try the sample and make up your own mind.

I quite liked her and found her tone soothing and just right for the book. I don't know why the other reviewers found the narrator so awful. The awful reviews of the narrator almost scared me away, but my stubborn nature let me plunge ahead and put the book in my cart. This HSP loved the book AND the narrator.Īs a HSP, I desperately wanted this book (and I highly recommend getting the print version as well - there's just too much in here that you'll miss with having the Audible version alone). She is more hands on with coping and integrating this skill into a fulfilling life. Rue Hass isn't interested in making a case that sensitive people exist and validating this through science, her voice is one that addresses some of the challenges and opportunities that exist as a highly sensitive person. If you are interested in developing, managing, accepting and empowering yourself and sensitivity I suggest books by Russ Hass.

However, if you are a highly sensitive person or intuitive I suggest this book isn't for you (being one myself). People who are in the psychology world or living with a highly sensitive person and seeking understanding as to the why of " you're so sensitive" will benefit from this book. People who have no direct experience as a highly sensitive person would benefit from this book. All this information is helpful for the non-sensitives, for the non-intuitives. She then briefly describes the traits, possible challenges and common characteristics of a highly sensitive person. She does this by documenting and sharing research regarding the evidence of various empathic animals within the animal kingdom while tracing the way to the physiology of humans and how scientific evidence does support the existence of highly sensitive people. She does a very thorough job of defending, explaining and validating the empathic person. It's that negative judgement and perception I feel the writer is specifically addressing in this book. The tone of the book appears to be addressed to all the writers peers, family members or friends that didn't understand her way of Being - other than that she was different and this was perceived as a negative. Most intuitives or highly sensitive people don't need to be presented with information validating who or what they are - for they know what they're experiencing. This is an extremely heavy scientific based presentation regarding intuitives.
