LWD Book Club ~ Sensitive

March 31, 2023 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

The April LWD Book Club selection is a bit different than our usual selections. It may seem rather “niche” but I think anything that helps us understand ourselves or the people around us can be valuable. “Sensitive” addresses a personality trait that deserves greater understanding in modern society.

Sensitive:
The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person…
by Jenn Granneman & Andre Sólo

I first learned about the concept of the Highly Sensitive Person in the early 2000s. It was discussed in an unschooling moms email group I belonged to. I took the test and scored 25 out of a possible 27. I think I qualify. 😉

So when I heard of this month’s book selection I knew this was something I wanted to read. Even if you are not an HSP, chances are you know someone who is. If you’ve wondered what makes them tick, hopefully this book will shed some light. 

Sensitive by Jenn Granneman & Andre Sólo

 

“This important book reframes the way we think about sensitivity—our own or someone else’s—and shines a light on the great power in being highly attuned to the world.”—Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet

A paradigm-shifting look at a long-undervalued yet hugely beneficial personality trait, from the creators of the world’s largest community for highly sensitive people

“Don’t be so sensitive!”

Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly 1 in 3 people have the genes to be more sensitive than others—both physically and emotionally. These are the people who pause before speaking and think before acting; they tune into subtle details and make connections that others miss. They tend to be intelligent, big-hearted, and wonderfully creative; they are wired to go deep, yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way. These are the world’s “highly sensitive people,” and Sensitive is the book that champions them.

By the creators of the world’s largest community for sensitive people, Sensitive teaches us how to unlock the potential in this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of our lives: in friendships and relationships, the workplace, leadership, and parenting. Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo show readers that the way to thrive as a sensitive person is not to hide their sensitivity, but to embrace it—and they demonstrate how to do that in each area of life. Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, Sensitive shows readers how leaning in to their sensitivity unlocks a powerful “boost effect” to launch them ahead in life. It hands them the tools and insights they need to thrive as a sensitive person in a loud, fast, too-much world.

A powerfully validating, destigmatizing, and practical book, Sensitive plants a gently fluttering flag in the ground for sensitive people everywhere. This inspiring book has the power to change—once and for all—how we see sensitive people, and how they see themselves.

    Interesting selection.

    I’m still slowly reading the Harry Potter books in braille (very slowly, since I’m prioritizing everything else, so only read a tiny bit at a time). Plus, I’m just starting “The Borrowers Afield” by Mary Norton (having just finished the book before it in the series) and “Ivanhoe” by Walter Scott (because it’s the April selection for the 18th and 19th century book club I’m a member of). I’m also in the middle of “The Amish Widower” by Virginia Smith (the April selection for the crafty book club I facilitate; to finish up the four book series we started in January) and have just been given a copy of “More Poetic Meanderings” by a poet friend named Kevin Morris to read and review.
