Publisher's Synopsis
• 20 million gifted adults in the US (and 3 million gifted kids, National Association of Gifted Children) have inner experiences and heightened awareness that are qualitatively different than the norm. • 15-20 % of the population—up to 60 million Americans—are born with an innate sensory-processing sensitivity trait that explains their greater awareness of subtleties. • 83 million adults spent $33.9 billion out-of-pocket in 2007 on related alternative care and complementary classes, products, and materials.
