The Highly Sensitive Person
NATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH NEARLY A MILLION COPIES SOLD Are you a highly sensitive person?
Discover how to better understand yourself and create a fuller, richer life with this groundbreaking classic and internationally bestselling, life-changing guide by Dr. Elaine Aron, the research and clinical psychologist who first identified the Highly Sensitive trait, as well as an HSP herself. Revised and Updated with New Research and a New Author's Note Do you have a keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential to you as food and water? Are you noted for your empathy? Your conscientiousness? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you? If your answers are yes, you may be a highly sensitive person (HSP). Twenty to thirty percent of people have this amazing, innate trait. Maybe you are one of them. A similar percentage is found in over 100 species, because high sensitivity is a survival strategy always used by a minority, involving observing carefully before acting. It is also a way of life for HSPs. In this groundbreaking classic, Dr. Elaine Aron, a research and clinical psychologist as well as an HSP herself, helps you grasp the reality of your wonderful trait, understand your past in the light of it, and make the most of it in your future. Drawing on her many years of study and face-to-face time spent with thousands of HSPs, she explains the changes you will need to make in order to lead a fuller, richer life. Along with a new Author's Note, the latest scientific research, and a fresh discussion of anti-depressants, this edition of The Highly Sensitive Person is more essential than ever for creating the sense of self-worth and empowerment every HSP deserves and our planet needs. "Elaine Aron has not only validated and scientifically corroborated high sensitivity as a trait--she has given a level of empowerment and understanding to a large group of the planet's population." --Alanis Morissette, artist, activist, teacher

Dr. Aron earned her M.A. from York University in Toronto in clinical psychology and her Ph.D. at Pacifica Graduate Institute in clinical depth psychology as well as interning at the C. G. Jung Institute in San Francisco. In addition, she and her husband, Dr. Arthur Aron, are two of the leading scientists studying the psychology of love and close relationships.

She maintains a small psychotherapy practice in Mill Valley, CA and can be found online at HSPerson.com.
Praise for this book
Praise for Dr. Elaine Aron and her groundbreaking classic, The Highly Sensitive Person "Elaine Aron has not only validated and scientifically corroborated high sensitivity as a trait--she has given a level of empowerment and understanding to a large group of the planet's population. I thank Dr. Aron every day for her having brought this awareness to the world." --Alanis Morissette, artist, activist, teacher "Elaine Aron's perceptive analysis of this fundamental dimension of human nature is must reading. Her balanced presentation suggests new paths for making sensitivity a blessing, not a handicap." --Philip G. Zimbardo, author of Shyness "Enlightening and empowering, this book is a wonderful gift to us all." --Riane Eisler, author of Nurturing Our Humanity "Shy people fear being judged or rejected, whereas highly sensitive people have a keen awareness of their environment, frequently becoming overstimulated by it." --Self "If you are easily overwhelmed by noise, chaos, and emotions; perform poorly when being observed; and require time alone each day, there is no need to worry; recent research shows your heightened sensitivity can do you more good than harm." --Counseling Today "At book signings, people have come up to her [Elaine Aron] and said, 'You've saved my life.'" --San Francisco Chronicle "Aron's book is not a fly-by-night, self-help tome, but instead a serious effort to explore a subject on which little has been done." --The Oregonian "This book is a valuable resource for the HSP, as well as those who are trying to understand the HSP." --The New Times "This innovative psychologist has figured out that the extreme reactivity of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) can be a good thing. This comes as a relief to people like me--and probably you, too." --Pathways
