This book will be a go-to resource that I will be recommending to all the HSPs I work with; whether they are just discovering what it means or if they've been aware for a while. It provides a perfect balance of inspiration, research, and encouragement for those of us wanting to better understand our trait so that we can be more effective and positively impactful in our own lives and the lives of those around us. -- Andy Mort, Songwriter and founder of SheepDressedLikeWolves.com, a website dedicated to inspiring and encouraging creative introverts and HSPs A book written for HSPs addressing the various facts, joys and challenges of an innate trait. Particularly useful for sensitive people whose anxiety has made it difficult to fully be present in the world or who are struggling to overcome historical obstacles and reach their potential. -- Barbara Allen-Williams, Founder, National Centre for High Sensitivity UK (www.hspsensitive.com)
