Synopsis
Tu sensibilidad es una fortaleza, aprende a usarla.
Un libro eminentemente práctico e inspirador que cambiará, de una vez por todas, nuestra percepción de las personas altamente sensibles y les dará alas.
Todo el mundo tiene un lado sensible, pero una de cada tres personas posee una genética que la hace, física y emocionalmente, más sensible que los demás. Piensan antes de hablar y de actuar, perciben detalles sutiles y hacen conexiones que otros pasan por alto; suelen ser inteligentes, de gran corazón y muy creativas; están programadas para profundizar, pero la sociedad las induce a ocultar su sensibilidad. Son las personas altamente sensibles (PAS), y este es el libro que las defiende y empodera.
La manera de prosperar como persona altamente sensible no es ocultar la propia sensibilidad, sino abrazarla. Jenn Granneman y Andre Sólo, creadores de la comunidad para PAS más grande del mundo, enseñan cómo desbloquear el potencial de esta fortaleza infravalorada y cómo aprovecharla en las áreas más importantes de la vida: las amistades, las relaciones, el trabajo, el liderazgo, y la crianza de los hijos. Entrelazando consejos prácticos, anécdotas y las últimas investigaciones científicas, los autores muestran la gran ventaja de lo que llaman el "efecto impulsor de la sensibilidad" y brindan las herramientas y los conocimientos necesarios para triunfar como PAS en un mundo ruidoso, rápido y en exceso agitado.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“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 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 into 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.
