Summary
Are there many highly sensitive people (HSP) in this insensitive world? Who are them and how can they resist at the various stressing situations that they will meet along their life?Ilse Sand in his newest book: Highly sensitive people in an insensitive world -How to create a Happy Life - published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers will answer these questions and many more. This book is a wonderful guide: from aiding you in the process of dealing with anger, bitter resentments, grief. With this book, Ilse Sand guides you through expressing powerful feelings such as guilt, shame, fear, anxiety in a more effective way. He also encourages you to try different, more useful, approaches whilst giving you an understanding of what behaviors tend to be detrimental to your own mental health. He encourages readers to feel empathy and crucially show compassion in situations when we typically say all the wrong things. Ultimately, this book serves as a way of getting to the root of why you behave as you do, looking into the early attachments you made as an infant to uncover and explore ways of moving forward and accepting oneself. A good read for someone interested in personal development. Maybe not for everyone - he says himself that it is written for those who are highly sensitive people (HSP), those who live with people who are highly sensitive and those that work with them.
