Publisher's Synopsis

In today's fast-paced and increasingly public society, we are expected to have the energy to manage a packed work schedule and a large network of friends, both online and offline, day and night. If you find yourself struggling to live up to, or even enjoy, these non-stop social expectations, then the brand new extended edition of Ilse Sand's Highly Sensitive People in an Insensitive World is for you.

Written for highly sensitive people, the book explains the characteristics of being highly sensitive and how to overcome common difficulties, such as low self-esteem and the exhausting effects of socialising. This newly updated edition is full of the most up-to-date research on what it means to be highly sensitive, material on stimulation and creativity, and an abundance of new, transformative exercises and tools to help you cope with overwhelm, improve your wellbeing, and appreciate the unique advantages of high sensitivity.
