"Finally, a self-help book that is truly helpful! I'm usually skeptical of such things, but Aron's work is well-grounded in research and makes so much sense. I suppose I always knew I was highly sensitive, but it was nice to have that verified and to feel embraced instead of rejected because of it. "

" Scary, how did you get in my brain? "
— Maureen, 4/2/2011 -
" If you are a HSP and like self help books you'll enjoy it. Best to do the online self test first before reading this. It's amazing how much this book explains about why you are like you are if you are a HSP. But it won't change your life or anything. "
— Awehla, 4/1/2011 -
" Took a lot of way from this book. Skipped through a few pages or chapters which I didn't feel were relevent to my sitatuion. <br/> <br/>Sheds a lot of insight on HSP and how to appreciate it. "

" This book was life-changing for me, as I saw myself on every page. Dr. Aron gave me permission to see myself as gifted rather than flawed, something I've always struggled with. I refer back to my many highlights in this book often. "

" I didn't think Aron's writing skills were great in this book, but I really enjoyed the overall concept. I think her Highly Sensitive Child book was better written and also more useful overall - not just for my sensitive child but for me personally as well. "
