Drawing from his training with pioneer in the field Dr. Elaine Aron, and his own groundbreaking work, Falkenstein incorporates the most up-to-date research on high sensitivity--what it is and isn't, and how it relates to male identity--and provides one-of-a-kind advice and practical tools, including: - Self-assessment tests to measure high sensitivity - Strategies to cope with overstimulation and intense emotions - Exercises that enhance relaxation, mindfulness, and acceptance - Advice on self-care and self-compassion - Techniques to deal with situations that highly sensitive people often find difficult - Interviews with men who have learned to live well with high sensitivity - Insights into the key role that highly sensitive men have to play in today's world Including an illuminating conversation with Dr. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Man is an invaluable book that will help redefine masculinity and reveal how high sensitivity can enrich men's lives, their communities, and the lives of those who love them.
