Self-Help
The Little Book of HSP Wisdom is a thoughtful book to reach for when needing a few words of wisdom about struggles, values, habits and perspectives on life as an HSP.
This book addresses in a simple and straight- forward way, common areas of challenge, growth and development most highly sensitive people encounter. Reading this book will feel like hearing some very kind but no-nonsense advice from someone who knows and understands you as a sensitive person.
Barbara Allen-Williams has been working consciously in the field of high sensitivity for over 25 years. This experience makes her guidance accessible and concise enough to use as an inspiring quick reference for everyday developmental challenges - an ‘HSP Wisdom 101’. She has a particular skill for describing and simplifying deep and sometimes complex issues faced by highly sensitive people. Barbara provides a bigger picture perspective, so that ways forward seem clearer, more inspiring and less confusing.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
A Compact Powerhouse for Every HSP Don’t be fooled by the size of this book. Barbara Allen-Williams has packed it with rich content, practical tips, and insightful strategies for all Highly Sensitive People. I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy and as expected, it was a great read—thoughtful, comprehensive, and remarkably clear for such a concise guide. The book covers a lot of ground, and every section was lucid, direct, and accessible. What stood out most were some of the beautiful and resonant descriptions of the HSP experience. Two that stayed with me: “Harmony to HSPs is like velvet, strongly woven yet soft to the touch.” (What a perfect metaphor.) and “HSPs tend to be quality versus quantity people…” This is a thoughtful and accessible guidebook that belongs on every HSP’s nightstand, right alongside Elaine Aron’s classic work. — Bill Allen, author of Confessions of a Sensitive Man and On Being a Sensitive Man
I was privileged to read a draft copy of this wonderful book, which I believe will become a very important work for years to come. Every chapter is packed with advice based on Barbara's extensive knowledge, work and life experience. What shines through most is Barbara's kindness, and her genuine desire to help Highly Sensitve People live their best lives as authentically as is possible in the modern world. Having this book to consult, console and reassure is like a comforting arm around your shoulder whenever you question yourself, are faced with dilemmas, or just want to feel you're not alone. It really is a gift to the world.
