Synopsis

Statistics show that fifty percent of what determines divorce is genetic temperament. And, if you are one of the twenty percent of people who are born highly sensitive, the risk of an unhappy relationship is especially high. Your finely tuned nervous system, which picks up on subtleties and reflects deeply, would be a romantic asset if both you and your partner understood you better. But without that understanding, your sensitivity is likely to be making your close relationships painful and complicated.

Based on Elaine N. Aron's groundbreaking research on temperament and intimacy, The Highly Sensitive Person in Love offers practical help for highly sensitive people seeking happier, healthier romantic relationships. From low-stress fighting to sensitive sexuality, the book offers a wealth of practical advice on making the most of all personality combinations. Complete with illuminating self-tests and the results of the first survey ever done on sex and temperament, The Highly Sensitive Person in Love will help you discover a better way of living and loving.

This book changed my life. JDN 2456163 EDT 15:48. A review of The Highly Sensitive Person in Love I mean that quite literally: While I only finished reading it, already I am re-evaluating whole swaths of my experience and restructuring fundamental notions of my identity as a result. It was like looking......more

Goodreads review by Christian on April 11, 2025

This might just have to be the quintessential, most profoundly learned, and deeply insightful book Dr Aron has publish or been a part of to date and being about and journeying through love while highly sensitive is just the tip of the iceberg on this book. She dives so much deeper into all the forms......more

Goodreads review by Nastja on January 08, 2018

I remember some years ago my mom read this book. I remember thinking that "highly sensitive" is probably just another fancy word for people who like to whine, cry and live in a over-romanticized bubble to have an excuse for being needy. Now I realise how much our society has distorted the meaning of......more
