Do you have a heightened sense of empathy? Do you often notice tiny details that others don't? Do you ever feel overwhelmed in a busy, loud environment? If you answered yes to any of those questions, chances are you're a 'highly sensitive person', along with one fifth of the population. Highly sensitive people exemplify our most humane traits. They embody not just emotional sensitivity - qualities like empathy, kindness, and concern for strangers - but physical sensitivity too, processing all information very deeply. Our modern loud and harsh world wasn't built for highly sensitive people, but their unique strengths make them inspiring leaders, heartfelt caretakers, careful decision-makers and natural-born artists. Sensitive will shatter the myth that being sensitive is a weakness and celebrate the power of a deeper, more tuned-in mind. Offering a new way of unlocking potential, it will give sensitives - and those who care about them - the tools to be successful in school, work, life and love. Based on more than twenty years of research in neuroscience, psychology, and human genetics, it will be the first book to explore the science of sensitivity.

An introvert guide and manifesto for all the quiet ones—and the people who love them.

A paradigm-shifting exploration of a long-undervalued yet beneficial personality trait, this book highlights the experiences of those with heightened sensitivity—nearly one in three people genetically predisposed to be more sensitive both physically and emotionally. These individuals often pause before speaking, notice subtle details, and connect dots that others might miss. Characterized by intelligence, creativity, and empathy, they are encouraged by society to suppress the very sensitivity that defines them. This work, crafted by the founders of the world's largest community for sensitive individuals, illustrates how to harness this often-overlooked strength in various aspects of life, including friendships, the workplace, leadership, and parenting. Through engaging research and storytelling, the authors demonstrate that thriving as a sensitive person involves embracing, rather than hiding, this trait. By combining actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific insights, the book reveals how leaning into sensitivity can create a powerful "boost effect," propelling individuals forward in a noisy, fast-paced world. It serves as a validating and practical guide, aiming to transform perceptions of sensitive people and empower them to embrace their unique strengths.
