The Highly Sensitive Person (book by Elaine Aron)
*The Highly Sensitive Person* by Elaine Aron explains that some individuals have a more sensitive nervous system, making them more responsive to stimuli like sounds, sights, and emotional cues. This trait, called sensory processing sensitivity, is innate and affects about 15-20% of the population. Highly sensitive people tend to experience deeper emotional reactions, heightened empathy, and can become easily overwhelmed in busy or chaotic environments. The book offers insights into understanding this trait, embracing it as a strength, and developing strategies to navigate daily life while maintaining well-being.
