Ilse Sand. Close to the Heart: How to Live If You Are a Highly Sensitive Person / Ilse Sand ; Translated from Danish. — Moscow: Alpina Publisher, 2023 — 164 pages — (Alpina Series: Psychology and Philosophy). Highly sensitive people, or "new introverts," are those who react more sharply than others to noise or commotion, quickly tire of society, and prefer solitude. These people feel the world deeply and notice the smallest details, which often makes them excellent poets, artists, and writers. However, living among others is difficult for them: they too often have to justify their fatigue and reclusiveness, criticism hurts them deeply, much energy is spent on empathy as well as on conforming to societal standards. Ilse Sand, a Danish writer and certified psychotherapist who has personally experienced all the hardships and joys of highly sensitive people's lives, explains how these new introverts can finally stop trying to change themselves and begin to live happily in harmony with themselves and their feelings.
