Having read the author’s other book (Empowering the Sensitive Male Soul), this book follows the same vein, with an emphasis around how the HSP trait may suit itself to particular work environments (as expressed within a western cultural context, as that seems to be the author’s frame of reference). If you’ve read other material on this topic, some of the content may seem repetitive, but if not, it does give a very good background for those who are just discovering it (either for themselves, or someone they know).
I found Chapter 7 (The Sociological Context) interesting, as it did confirm what I already suspected, however it didn’t lend anything new, aside from the fact that HSP’s are different, are in the minority, and must adjust to suit the world. As the author says in that chapter: “It’s clear to me, and I hope the reader, that if there is one area of HSP research that needs much more work, it is in reconciling male HSPs in a way that is healing and empowering.” Similar to another reviewer who was looking for a more practical guide, I was hoping for the same.
Chapter 8 does provide a breakdown of those career categories of the HSPs involved with the author’s surveys, however it does not identify a comparison to the overall population, in order to understand where the emphasis may be for HSPs. Further, there doesn’t seem to be an assessment of the happiness / contentment of individuals within and amongst those categories – meaning, just because there’s relatively more in any particular category, does it mean that their sense of fulfillment and happiness is greater? It also would have been nice to see if and how the HSPs in the survey showed up on Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator testing, or something similar, that’s more well known within the broader population (maybe the next book?). Nonetheless, it is an interesting summary, in that it sheds some light on the relationship between the HSP traits and chosen career paths.
I think the book is best suited for those individuals who are already on their way toward or are in a ‘good place’ in their lives, in terms of having attained a level of healthy self-acceptance (and the personal support and validation one needs to be healthy and resilient – but this is not easy in a world that simply isn’t ‘you’). As the author suggests (and more so in his other book), if you are one of those ‘damaged’ HSPs, you’ll need to get help first, and then (in my interpretation) move one with the insights contained herein in order to live better. However, there’s really no sense of what that ‘help’ should look like (I would assume it would comprise of help from professionals familiar with & trained in dealing with HSPs).
Notwithstanding the above, the author is to be commended for even writing such a book – as far as I know, there’s no other one out there like it, and having it available is a great thing. I’m keeping mine, if for no other reason than to refer back to once in awhile, and hopefully pass it on to others who may find a benefit.
