Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Dying to Be Me returns with a “powerful” (Laura Berman, PhD, author of Quantum Love) and transformative guide that empowers highly sensitive people and empaths to embrace their gifts, protect their energy, and thrive with confidence.
Empaths often feel the emotions of others so deeply that they absorb them—leading to sensory overload, anxiety, and low self-worth. Their compassion and generosity, while beautiful strengths, can sometimes leave them drained, overwhelmed, or vulnerable to “energy vampires.”
In Sensitive Is the New Strong, Anita Moorjani shows that sensitivity is not a weakness but a profound source of inner strength. Blending personal wisdom, spiritual insight, and practical tools, she teaches empaths how to set healthy boundaries, practice self-care, and turn emotional challenges into opportunities for growth and healing. Readers will discover how to trust their intuition, reclaim their power, and live authentically in a world that often undervalues sensitivity.
“Sensitive Is the New Strong is a book that provides you with groundbreaking information, tools, and exercises in understanding the challenges faced by empaths. You can learn how to protect your energy and thrive. A definite must-read for empaths and their loved ones.” —Nick Ortner, New York Times bestselling author
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this welcoming work, inspirational speaker Moorjani (Dying to Be Me) guides novice empaths, or those who feel more sensitive to their surroundings than most, in how to live a healthy life within an increasingly partisan society. She begins with a quiz to help readers determine their level of empathic ability and shares advice, personal anecdotes, and stories of those who have attended her workshops and retreats. Moorjani is most eloquent and persuasive when giving advice on embracing one's ego and weaknesses rather than constantly striving to rise above them: "There's a difference between having an ego and being egocentric. A healthy ego protects and fortifies you." She also doesn't shy from difficult or complex topics, like clinging to a victim mentality, stating, "The goal always has to be to take the control of our lives back, including getting professional help if necessary." Though Moorjani writes that the book "isn't about walls, barriers, and protection," multiple sections dedicated to strengthening mental boundaries and advice to avoid social situations that might "deplete your energy" come off as contradictory. Moorjani's revealing insights will appeal to her many fans as well as those just beginning to understand their empathic abilities.
