 Finally Knowing I Belong December 6, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I found comfort in every word of this book. Reading it validated that I am not only "not crazy", but that I have something wonderful to offer this de-sensitized world of ours. It's taken me many years, but I am finally realizing that being "different" can and usually is a genuinely good thing! All those years of hearing people describe me as "overly sensitive" as if it were some major character flaw certainly left their mark on me. Now, however, I can look upon my sensitivity as a gift - as something special and unique. I am happy being me. I am happy to have this book on my shelf. It has become a haven where I dwell when I need reminded that I belong, just as I am.

I love this book!
It's like it was written just for me.
For years I've felt out of place and odd because I can't stand loud noises, loud restaurants, crowds and many other things like that.
This book explains that I was born that way and that there are "others" out there like me.
This book was recommened to me by a counselor.
She told me that in her opinion I was a highly sensitive person.
I went on the author's web site. Read up on it, took the test and immediately ordered it.
I can't begin to describe how much better I feel as I read chapter after chapter.
I would recommend you go to the web site and take the test to see if you might be highly sensitive also.

Explains in simple words - Who & Why 15% of the population have a "gift"... September 16, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a healer (and being an HSP myself) this book has become an invaluable "tool" to "analyze" people "searching" for their true selves...
For a healer it is absolutely essential to have an understanding of HSP personalities - their "gifts" - the rewards and advantages they have in life (if they are aware of their personality trait..!) but also the problems that 15 % of the entire population on earth have/will encounter in their lives.
You cannot truly heal someone without the understanding of their subconscious mindset..!
This is one of the reasons why this book is completely invaluable for any healer, HSP's or family and friends to HSP personalities!
"I KNOW that THIS BOOK HAS and WILL SAVE MANY LIVES!!!"
(Unnecessary suicides, able to be medically treated/"healed" - in short it gives the person inner harmony, self insight and the ability to use this extraordinary "GIFT" to the benefit of themselves and people around them...)
If you have a family member, a friend or you yourself - that can be regarded as withdrawn & quiet, often is in need of being alone, has hard to deal with to many impressions at once (becomes "overwhelmed") - BUY THIS BOOK - see my honest quote above...

A MUST READ August 15, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have read many, many, many self-help books, studied various theories, and as simple as Elaine Aron's concepts are, they are also life changing. I finally get it. I'm not strange or weird or unacceptable, I am simply more sensitive. I love the chapters on deciding life careers and the final chapters on celebrating the strengths of being highly sensitive. I did not agree with all of her analyses of love/romance for highly sensitve people. I think she was a bit too negative and missed out on some of the higher-level love/soulmate stuff that HSP can experience. But this book is one I will be recommending to many people. Now I understand what it's like for my husband of 30 years, and I think I'll be better at explaining my needs to him. Read this book! I couldn't put it down.
