This is a book about being successful, fulfilled, and happy in a world in which you don't always feel you fit in. Many people are emotionally sensitive and intense, and while these characteristics need not limit us, they often hold us back from expressing ourselves, being heard, and taking charge of our life, love, and work.

The Gift of Intensity is a complete guide which shows sensitive and intense people how to navigate, successfully and predictably, the fundamental relationships that make up their livesβ€”demonstrating along the way that intense feelings are a gift, not a curse.

Grounded in the author's extensive clinical and personal experience, the book advises readers on challenges such as low self-esteem, family conflicts, loneliness, complex work challenges, and times of emotional crisis. Readers are given actionable steps to change their lives.
