Review of 'The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This book was on my to-read list because I'd come across this framing elsewhere ("sensitivity" vs. introversion etc.) and found it useful. The book itself, though, wasn't terribly useful for me. It's just not quite was I was looking for. Varies between overly-rah-rah / reassuring and what other reviewers here have uncharitably called "psychobabble" -- "reparenting your inner infant" type stuff. I'd recommend [b:Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking|8520610|Quiet The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking|Susan Cain|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328562861s/8520610.jpg|13387396] instead.
