    Heavy reading
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2022*

It is more like a textbook for counselors than a book for someone seeking guidance. It provides very detailed explanations of overexcitabilities that you might recognize yourself in. It explains clearly how those could be beneficial. But it is weak on explaining how to live with overexcitabilities in any practical manner. It is more designed to help counselors or some other group make sense or be more accepting of what they are seeing than it is offering advice to an individual struggling themselves or dealing with a child who struggles. As a textbook, it's very good. As a guide, it's okay, but you'll have to work hard and make a lot of connections and conclusions on your own.

    The ENFJ Manifesto
  

*by A***7 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2020*

I had a very hard time with this book and have incredibly mixed feelings.  I guess an outline would be best?1.  First of all, there was little new in here about OEs that you can’t find online at this point.  If you’re looking to understand those from an adult perspective, I’d look elsewhere.  Heck, I’ve found more enlightening information through Quora on the topic.  This book just has a ton of basic description.2.  Much of this book covers the theory of positive disintegration, which you might find yourself accepting or completely disagreeing with.  The theory rests on the concept of the “lower” selfish self and the “higher” empathetic self and the personal struggle towards the “higher” self.  I personally view this as a false dichotomy.  Self-interest and empathy are not mutually exclusive, but that’s a 200 page dissertation I’ll leave for elsewhere.3.  Much of this book is based on chasing the ideal of total inner peace, magnanimous civic mindedness and eventual ego death.  It places Gandhi, Jesus and the Peace Pilgrim as examples of this state.  For a book that tells you repeatedly to find your own values, I find that to be a very narrow and mostly unattainable set of values.4.  While we’re on the topic of Jesus, if you’ve long since left religion behind, all the religion/spiritual talk can leave you feeling deeply uncomfortable.5.  Most of the book describes these successful, eminent people in their fields.  Then here and there I’d see myself represented: troubled isolationists who have emotionally or totally dropped out of society.  As someone who has been struggling, overall, it made it look like you’re a piano virtuoso or on drugs.  There is one story of a man who learned to be content in life and get meaning from family relationships, but little attention is paid to how.  And that story feels too little too late.6.  If you’re deeply introverted or have social struggles, too much of this book comes across as being hard to relate to.  It talks a lot about challenging jobs, volunteer work, parenting and art careers as providing meaning and purpose.  If you find those activities draining or impossible because of the people contact element, it can potentially fuel worse feelings of inferiority/inadequacy.I didn’t quite know how to rate this one, so I went with a middle three stars.  They should change the title from “Living with Intensity” to “Describing Intensity.”Overall, if you’re not a people person and/or more of a rational type, there’s little to relate to here.  If you secretly wish you were Mother Teresa, dive right in.

    THIS BOOK EXPLAIN IMPORTANT FREQUENTLY OBSERVED CORELATION BETWEEN GIFTEDNESS AND SENSITIVITY.
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2021*

Ask any teacher, they will tell you about fragile ego of the top students, the gifted students and the talented students. It is NOT in each and every case, but this is something that is frequently observed.The people who are above average in many ways often are also above average on the emotional sensitivity scale.It is a good read to those who are new to the concept as  this book may help you in whatever situation you are, if you are a parent of a gifted child, this will help you to understand them better, if you are that gifted child you can use this book to understand yourself better. If you are an adult who struggled with whathe she has been labeled as being "oversensitive"  this book will help you to understand why and also will help you to navigate the life ahead.While not every gifted and talented person is on the Autism Spectrum (previously known as Asperger) quite few are, so this might be a good start to look there for further answers to better understand yourself if you happen to be one and never knew it as there is certain link there as well.I have work with many parents of gifted children and this book is one of the most popular titles that they reach for to better understand their kids and how to relate to them.I highly recommend it!
