  What-A-Coincidence

  Raises hand. I found this book while perusing a book store in Midtown Manhattan. It overwhelmed me because all this time I thought I was not "normal" (I can hear the peanut gallery now). This book helped me understand the following in myself:

• This trait is normal--it is inherited by 15 to 20% of the population, and indeed the same percentage seems to be present in all higher animals.
• Being an HSP means your nervous system is more sensitive to subtleties. Your sight, hearing, and sense of smell are not necessarily keener (although they may be). But your brain processes information and reflects on it more deeply.
• Being an HSP also means, necessarily, that you are more easily overstimulated, stressed out, overwhelmed.
  
  Anyway, I highly recommend this book to people like us.
