It's called "The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You" by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. Most libraries have it, and it's a quick read, but I suggest anyone interested in the topic take a look at it because it's a very different view from most others, in that it looks upon it as a gift and not a "disorder."

I have tried to get that book - in other words, been meaning to read it for years. I know part of this is a gift part of it is a curse. It's hard to live in the curse part. But it makes for living a highly dynamic life. Just wish I could find a partner who can put up w/ the wild ride!!!Katia
