I read ‘The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You’ by Takeda Tomoki, so I’ll share the insights I gained from this book.

The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You

Background: Want to Understand "Highly Sensitive People"

The book ‘The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You’ was featured in 【繊細さん①】気がつきすぎて疲れる人へ今日からできる実践テクニック - YouTube and was available on Kindle Unlimited, so I decided to read it 📚

Here are quotes and notes from the sections that impressed me most.

Chapter 3

"The more you show your true self, the more people who match you will gather and the easier it becomes."

「素の自分を出せば出すほど、自分に合う人が集まってラクになるのです。」

💡 I agree. People who don’t match you will avoid you, and only those who match you will gather, making it easier.

That’s all from the Gemba.
