In less than an hour’s time, it’s my birthday. And not just any birthday. When I wake up, at precisely 7.42am I’ll be thirty. Three, zero. 3-0. Thirty.

Just like anything in life, being a highly sensitive person (HSP) comes with its ups and its downs.

As I awakened to the possibility of a non-office-based life, and 'doing my own thing'... these 3 books stood out to me.

In the last 7 years, there have been two major breakthroughs that I have experienced - realising that I am an introvert, and realising that I am a highly sensitive person (HSP).

I'm going to answer this question with a little help from the experts on 'the world of introverts', and ones I've been following for a while now.
