Nothing especially new here (I recommend Aron‘s works instead)! One problem I have with books like this one, is how muddy the thinking is. Apparently toxic people have no merits, and HSPs have *only* merits. A very victimy mentality. At one point the book recommends that you lie to a (non-dangerous) toxic person in order to get out of a commitment. This isn‘t the kind of advice I need in my life.
About 70% of the way through and not much new here. I‘ve learned a few new things and plan to stick the rest of the book out.
A fascinating book and one that is helping me feel more peace and healing over recent medical trauma.
40% of the way through this brilliant, informative, compassionate book. If you have any interest in the human race, it is a must-read.
pickAn insightful and at times very distressing account of decades in a forensic pathologist's caseload. Death by SIDS, domestic homicide, poisonings, harrowing sexual murders, racially-biased death at the hands of policemen, large scale disasters, and celebrity death - difficult but interesting, like the author's personal struggles with mental illness and marital failures. An absolutely brilliant and often times incredibly sad read.
