Sensitive Is the New Strong: The Power of Empaths in an Increasingly Harsh World by Anita Moorjani

4.0

This book is an interesting, and at times enlightening, examination of the experience of an empathetic individual in today's society. Moorjani's insights from her own life experiences give a new perspective on the impact that the structures of today's society has on individuals that are empathetic and the ways in which it eventually breaks them down. What was particularly insightful, was Moorjani's experienced examples of how this is done through individual relationships and societal norms around spirituality and the cult of helpfulness. I've already recommended this book to some friends and I'm sure I'll be recommending it to others in the future.
