The Highly Sensitive Person

A pioneer in defining and understanding high sensitivity, the psychologist Elaine N. Aron shares the results of her research, her consultations and her own experience as a highly sensitive person to better understand this personality trait shared by approximately 20% of the population. She analyzes the way in which such people function, its impact on various aspects of their existence (social relations, work, health, intimacy), but also how it is perceived in different cultures. A valuable and insightful guide to living with high sensitivity on a daily basis and to explaining that distinctive group of people’s reactions and needs to those around them.
