What have you ever been advised to become more sociable, make decisions faster, stop worrying about everything and everyone, and generally start to approach life more simply? Most introverts and hypersensitive people face similar advice. They have a hard time defending their opinions and maintaining personal boundaries when communicating both at work and among friends. International bestselling author and psychotherapist Ilse Sand in her book “The Distance of Happiness” offers a simple guide for those who want to live in harmony with themselves in a world full of extroverts. Her advice will help you gain confidence in yourself, accept your psychological limitations and use your strengths. The recommendations offered in the book are relevant not only for introverts and hypersensitive people, but also for those who find themselves in a difficult situation due to stress, psychological trauma or emotional burnout.

Quotes “Introverts can do almost everything the same the same as extroverts. It’s just that the former need more strength, since they quickly get tired in the role of the latter.” “Form your values and rank them in order of importance. If you choose to follow your own values when making a decision, others may be disappointed, but this will make you more honest and fair to yourself." "You can neglect your interests and needs when there is an urgent need or desire to please the right person. However, by abusing this, you risk driving yourself into a vicious circle, more often getting tired and betraying yourself. Moreover, by doing so, you allow others to violate the boundaries of your personal space.”

For whom: For introverts and hypersensitive people.
