The Highly Sensitive Person in Love

Understanding and Managing Relationships When the World Overwhelms You

By: Elaine N. Aron PhD

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

Statistics show that 50 percent of what determines divorce is genetic temperament. And, if you are one of the 20 percent of people who are born highly sensitive, the risk of an unhappy relationship is especially high. Your finely tuned nervous system, which picks up on subtleties and reflects deeply, would be a romantic asset if both you and your partner understood you better. But without that understanding, your sensitivity is likely to be making your close relationships painful and complicated.

Based on Elaine N. Aron's groundbreaking research on temperament and intimacy, The Highly Sensitive Person in Love offers practical help for highly sensitive people seeking happier, healthier romantic relationships. From low-stress fighting to sensitive sexuality, the book offers a wealth of practical advice on making the most of all personality combinations. Complete with illuminating self-tests and the results of the first survey ever done on sex and temperament, The Highly Sensitive Person in Love will help you discover a better way of living and loving.

Critic reviews

"Aron offers a fresh way of perceiving the diversity and complexity of human personality that will help readers better understand themselves, their partners and the dynamics of interaction." ( Publishers Weekly)

Very informative and mind blowing!

Everything! Just Wow!! I’m so surprised that we don’t know much About ourselves nor other people and we act upon! This is the book for everyone not only for HSP !!

Transformative

This book has revealed aspects of myself that have been quieted. It opened my eyes to the tender truths I often hide from others and myself. I believe my life will be significantly improved from listening to the information that was collected, digested and expressed by Elaine. I highly recommend, not only to HSP/HSS but anyone interested in developing a greater understanding of others. You might find a part of yourself in these pages, even if you don’t expect to.

Helpful and Validating

I got a lot out of this. I didn't know about Highly Sensitive People until recently, and it turns out I am one. These books have really validated my experiences and helped me understand how my mind works in a world dominated by nonHSPs

Exceptional!

Fantastic! Absolutely eye-opening and thorough. A great work on Highly Sensitive People relationships with advice, helpful strategies, and exceptional analysis of the mind and thought process of a HSP. Everyone who is a HSP, or thinks they may be an HSP, needs to read this book. It is the most important work I've read (heard) on the subject of relationships. A. Must. Have!

wow I get it now
