And this book is for you. Written for intensives and the people around them, You're Not Too Much lays out a new personality model: the Sinha Intensive/Expansive Framework, and then uses it to provide a positive look at oft-criticized characteristics of intense people. It begins by describing the types, then explains what assets intensives bring to the table and how intensives and expansives can connect productively with more appreciation and less frustration on both sides. It covers personal, relationship, and leadership situations, as well as a look at cultural origins and consequences.

How do you learn to love someone who thinks so differently that they drive you up a wall? What do intensive leaders look like, and how do you get things done without overwhelming everyone in your path? How did the world get like this, anyway? And what do we do now?
