The Highly Sensitive Person's Complete Learning Program

Essential Insights and Tools for Navigating Your Work, Relationships, and Life

By: Elaine Aron PhD

Narrated by: Elaine Aron PhD

Are you a highly sensitive person? Here's the essential course to thrive in the world.

Are you sensitive to bright lights, loud noises, strong smells, or coarse fabrics?
Do other people’s moods and needs strongly affect you?
On busy days, do you ever wish you could withdraw to a quiet, private place?
Are you deeply moved by the arts or music?
Do you have a rich inner life?

If so, you may be an HSP.

In her groundbreaking 1996 book The Highly Sensitive Person, Dr. Elaine Aron first brought the trait to light, validating the unique lives of one-fifth of the population.

With this in-depth audio learning program - taught by Elaine herself, a fellow HSP - she invites us to learn the full scope of what we now know about high sensitivity, including many new research findings and life strategies.

Join her to explore:

• What high sensitivity is
• How to assess if you're an HSP
• Compelling research
• The five key needs of HSPs
• Self-care essentials for thriving in our overstimulating world
• Succeeding in intimate relationships and at work
• Supporting the highly sensitive child
• And much more...

"High sensitivity is neither a disorder nor a reason to brag," Elaine Aron makes clear. "It's an asset that we need to protect and use." With this immersive learning experience, she offers an essential, in-depth resource to help us do so.

Very thorough and detailed account of HSP

I found it validating the highly sensitive traits without creating a sense of superiority. I would recommend it to anyone who “ feels and cares “ too much”.

As enjoyable as a silk comforter

I love this book and its minute breaks to contemplate! I felt like Elaine was in my living room with me.
After listening, I quickly recommended it to several relatives.
I have enjoyed reviewing the notes I took while listening the first time. A day later, I am already listening to it again.
I now can relax and be happy just being me and look at my past with a new understanding. Life is good.

one of the most helpful books I've ever read

Elaine thank you for writing this book it was very helpful to me as a man because a lot of men don't talk about this kind of stuff it definitely helps me accept my traits and know that it's okay and become more curious about learning about it learning about myself and really bringing more love and kindness into the world by knowing myself my traits my value and my special talents so thank you

Helped me learn more about myself

I have always been a sensitive person. I always thought I was crazy but with Elaine Aaron I’ve learned that I’m not crazy I’m just in HSP. She’s teaching me things that I did not know about mysel love her books

Highly Sensitive People— you need to hear this!

While the presentation of statistics and information from studies may get a bit monotonous at times while listening to hours of this audiobook, trust me— if you are a highly sensitive person, you should set aside the time to listen to this. You will feel validated, understood, and you will walk away with some practical ideas of how to improve the quality of your life, including your relationships and your job, as a person who deeply processes everything and tends to get overstimulated easily, requiring you to isolate yourself from others often. If you thought something was wrong with you because you needed so much alone time or have been struggling in over-committing at work or by empathizing too much with needy people, well,... you will find that 15- 20% of the population has this trait, and you are not alone! This audiobook offers great research and hope for the future for HSP. I highly recommend.

This Is Life Changing

For those with the trait, this book is game changing. It’s a lot of information to get through, but so much of it inspired light bulb moments. I will probably listen to it again. I feel like I actually have a road map now. Before this book, I kept running into energetic land mines I couldn’t explain. She explains them all here. I appreciated Dr Aron’s calm direct delivery. I found it relaxing. Thank you for devoting 25 years to this topic, Elaine Aron! You have helped so many.

Loved it all but the stop & think chime

This is all me and I really appreciate it but she has to know that chime is WAY TOO LOUD for any HSP around right? It drove me nuts the whole book!

Highly recommended listening

Probably one of my top 10 books of all time. So many deep insights into myself, my family and others around me.

Very thoughtful, balanced and well-researched writing, making everything clear and concise. Narration is excellent and personal too, though I found it necessary to speed it up to 1.35x to a comfortable listening speed for me.

Negatives included the bell for reflection times, which was way too loud and jarring and I came to dread it and it distracted from being able to reflect. Also, the section on spiritually for was unhelpful for me. The positives vastly outweighed the negatives, however.

Wish I could encourage all my friends and family to read it!

Must read book for HSP

One of the best books I've read, it includes the things you need to know about yourself to thrive in a world where everything is overstimulating for you.

Very helpful

The program was very helpful to me, it points out things that you could miss about yourself, it also helps you to understand yourself better
