Amazon Kindle Deal of the Day

One of Amazon's daily deals for Kindle today (Wednesday, October 15, 2014) is The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D.  I am currently working on a review for this book, but you can get some basic information about it from Aron's website.  As she states:

• Are you easily overwhelmed by such things as bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens nearby?
• Do you get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short amount of time?
• Do you make a point of avoiding violent movies and TV shows?
• Do you need to withdraw during busy days, into bed or a darkened room or some other place where you can have privacy and relief from the situation?
• Do you make it a high priority to arrange your life to avoid upsetting or overwhelming situations?
• Do you notice or enjoy delicate or fine scents, tastes, sounds, or works of art?
• Do you have a rich and complex inner life?
• When you were a child, did your parents or teachers see you as sensitive or shy?

If you fit this profile or your child(ren) do, then it's well worth your while to read Aron's seminal work on the topic of highly sensitive people.  Aron includes a great number of helpful coping and adapting tips for those who are highly sensitive.

The book is widely available in public libraries, but the Austin Public Library does not have it available in digital form at this time.
