Summary

NOW IN PAPERBACK: Turn your sensitivity into a superpower with these proven strategies to regain your confidence at work， reclaim control of your life， and reach your full potential。

Are you a sensitive striver？ Often feel "not good enough？" Take things too personally？ Judge yourself harshly？ Struggle with burnout and setting boundaries？ Highly sensitive and high performing？ Being highly attuned to your emotions， environment， and the behavior of others can be the keys to success， but they can also lead to overthinking everything and burnout。 Human behavior expert and executive coach Melody Wilding identifies this problem and gives the nuanced reader profile a name—"sensitive strivers。" Drawing on the latest research and work with clients， she examines the intersection of sensitivity and achievement and the challenges that come along with it in the workplace， and offers neuroscience-based strategies readers can use to reclaim control of their lives and reach their full potential。

FOR READERS OF: The Highly Sensitive Person， No Hard Feelings， Quiet， and Introvert Power。

ENDORSEMENTS FROM: Susan Cain， Elaine Aron， Julia Cameron， and more。

EXPERT TAKE ON A NEWLY TRENDING TOPIC: What Susan Cain and Quiet were for introverts， and Elaine Aron and her books were for the highly sensitive， Melody Wilding is and will be for the growing number of people who identify as sensitive strivers。 As a human behavior expert， executive coach， and Forbes contributor， Wilding is the perfect author to offer practical solutions for the latest embraced personality type。 Her advice strikes the perfect balance between action-taking and introspective。

The perfect book for:

• Coaches and coaching clients
• Social workers
• Entry-level workers， middle managers， executive level and above
• Anyone who identifies as highly sensitive

If you ever want specific tactics on communication， how to pivot unhelpful thoughts， and to change your career for the better， this book will do it。 For anyone who labels themselves sensitive and an overachiever， this book is for you。 The activities and examples in particular were super helpful。

Michele ，

I felt so seen reading this book！ Filled with great advice that is actually doable。 I'm starting right away with harnessing the power of "Yet。" This is a book that I will be referencing often in the coming year！ I felt so seen reading this book！ Filled with great advice that is actually doable。 I'm starting right away with harnessing the power of "Yet。" This is a book that I will be referencing often in the coming year！ 。。。more

These were good reminders， but I wish it had more examples of how to communicate overwhelm。 I wish we could get to the place in the work environment where we can be open and honest about our boundaries and work limitations。 I wish we could be viewed as hardworking， promotable workers even if we set a boundary that once we work our designated 8 hours daily that we then go home to live our life。 Every book I’ve read on this has these examples of workers who overwhelm and overstretch themselves， an These were good reminders， but I wish it had more examples of how to communicate overwhelm。 I wish we could get to the place in the work environment where we can be open and honest about our boundaries and work limitations。 I wish we could be viewed as hardworking， promotable workers even if we set a boundary that once we work our designated 8 hours daily that we then go home to live our life。 Every book I’ve read on this has these examples of workers who overwhelm and overstretch themselves， and once they decide to work on it， they’re already executives。 Can’t there be a way we can get to be an executive while maintaining a work life balance？ Anyone？ Bueller？ I want to live a healthy， balanced life。 Why is that too much to ask？ Disclaimer - I didn’t do the exercises in this book since I borrowed an audiobook from the library and they were on PDFs that I couldn’t access。 。。。more

This is the first time I heard the term sensitive striver and I thought she did a good job at identifying this type of professional and provided practical tools and exercises thatcan be applied。 I learned a few things fromthis book and I have recommended it to a colleague。

Sensitive STRIVER is a concept I completely connected with

Renee Groenland ，

This book is better in hard copy than audio as it has lots of questions to work through。

Kelly Meeker ，

This book is an actionable guide to making your sensitivity and emotionality a strength。 You'll learn how to reframe challenging thoughts， stop harmful rumination， and set goals that are helpful but not overwhelming。 While focused on work life， these skills are super helpful for your personal life， too。 This book is an actionable guide to making your sensitivity and emotionality a strength。 You'll learn how to reframe challenging thoughts， stop harmful rumination， and set goals that are helpful but not overwhelming。 While focused on work life， these skills are super helpful for your personal life， too。 。。。more

Anna Snader ，

Less validation of experiences and more coaching and action steps。 Not a relaxing quarantine read tbh

Milos Mirosavljevic ，

Book resonated with me in a sense that I turn out to be what the author calls sensitive striver。 For long time I thought that my high emotionality is actually a penalty in workplace， but this books explains how it can be leveraged as an advantage。It has many exercies and practical examples。

Dang， I could relate to a lot in this！ See my highlights for favorite clips。

I have used a lot of self help books， quit lit and therapy and I have never found a framework with （cognitive， physical and spiritual exercises/tool） that has resonated with my personality and who I am as person as much as this。 The information is extensive and all backed up with scientific research and anecdotal evidence so that this book provided me with a way forward when I was feeling the most lost。 I cannot recommend it enough！！！！

Ann Williamson ，

Sought out the book after reading an article in HBR。 Excellent resource for those wanting to learn more about sensitive strivers and to leverage those characteristics for growth and success。

A "sensitive striver" is a high-achiever who is also more sensitive to their emotions， the world， and the behaviour of those around them。 Sensitive strivers are a category of highly sensitive people （HSPs）， meaning they naturally process information more deeply than their less-sensitive peers。There are ~20% of people who are sensitive striver and struggle in day to day life due to their sensitivity。。Just finished reading the book by Melody Wilding， LMSW where she has given a framework to transfo A "sensitive striver" is a high-achiever who is also more sensitive to their emotions， the world， and the behaviour of those around them。 Sensitive strivers are a category of highly sensitive people （HSPs）， meaning they naturally process information more deeply than their less-sensitive peers。There are ~20% of people who are sensitive striver and struggle in day to day life due to their sensitivity。。Just finished reading the book by Melody Wilding， LMSW where she has given a framework to transform STRIVE qualities of Sensitive people from disadvantage to their advantage。STRIVE QualitiesS => SensitivityT => ThoughtfulnessR => ResponsibilityI => Inner DriveV => VigilanceE => EmotionalityThis quality act at a disadvantage due to self-doubt， stress， fear， imposter syndrome， unable to speak up but the same can be translated to advantage due to high perception & sensitivity of "sensitive strivers"。For me "Thoughtfulness" or "Overthinking" was a major growth gap and I have started taking action on a few items without worrying or overthinking on the action & consequences。 。。。more

Fabian ，

It’s incredibly helpful as a workbook， and practical exercise。 However， the development of concepts is not that polished as it makes affirmations but doesn’t explain the concept behind it。 The histories I think doesn’t add up much to the book， but is fine to have some real life references。

Stacey ，

I felt so seen in this book！ Helped me recognize how many of my patterns are self-sabotaging and how to start toreframe them as strengths。 Taking a workshop with the author in a few months to go deeper。

I attended a webinar of Melody's about boundaries and that was the first time I'd heard the term "Sensitive Striver。" It immediately resonated with me and I put her book on hold at my local library as soon as the webinar ended。 This is not a "how-to" book on how to reach your goals even if or in spite of being a Sensitive Striver - thank goodness！ This book lays out techniques and exercises to overthink less and harness your Sensitive Striver qualities to achieve your goals， ultimately learning I attended a webinar of Melody's about boundaries and that was the first time I'd heard the term "Sensitive Striver。" It immediately resonated with me and I put her book on hold at my local library as soon as the webinar ended。 This is not a "how-to" book on how to reach your goals even if or in spite of being a Sensitive Striver - thank goodness！ This book lays out techniques and exercises to overthink less and harness your Sensitive Striver qualities to achieve your goals， ultimately learning to trust yourself and your emotionality to guide you in life。 This will be a book I reference regularly so I added it to my Christmas wishlist！ Melody's website also offers free downloads of the exercises shared in her book 。。。more

An engaging read， jam packed full of practical tools and exercises。 I also love the authors blog and her course on imposter syndrome。

This book had a transformational effect on me。 I felt an enormous sense of clarity as I was reading it。 I had been stuck in my business journey， trying to figure out the right path forward。 Then， in the middle of reading Melody's book， I knew exactly what I had to do。 I have a clear business plan now and a strategy for moving forward。 It was unreal how easily it all came to me just because I read this book。 This book had a transformational effect on me。 I felt an enormous sense of clarity as I was reading it。 I had been stuck in my business journey， trying to figure out the right path forward。 Then， in the middle of reading Melody's book， I knew exactly what I had to do。 I have a clear business plan now and a strategy for moving forward。 It was unreal how easily it all came to me just because I read this book。 。。。more

As an introvert who is highly sensitive I feel this book is a lifeline。 I recently was promoted to being a director and wanted the position but wasn’t sure how to navigate the role in a way that made sense to me。 I read books and none of them worked for me-I thought I wasn’t cut out for a high level director role。 After the book I feel like I can now thrive。 Thank you！

This book hit on real issues and provided workable solutions to overcome。 First book that I have found that really hits on struggles when work ethic and responsibilities don’t align with others but the work needs to get done。

I did the audiobook of this， which was probably not the wisest choice for me because I tend to daydream and lose track of what's being read to me。 BUT I did not want to pay $30 for a hardcover of the book （without knowing if I'd like it or not） and it was too new for my library to have a copy。 This was picked for a book club （that I didn't attend b/c I hadn't finished the book yet） and while I liked some of the advice given， I'm not sure that I'm a "sensitive striver"。 I do look forward to compl I did the audiobook of this， which was probably not the wisest choice for me because I tend to daydream and lose track of what's being read to me。 BUT I did not want to pay $30 for a hardcover of the book （without knowing if I'd like it or not） and it was too new for my library to have a copy。 This was picked for a book club （that I didn't attend b/c I hadn't finished the book yet） and while I liked some of the advice given， I'm not sure that I'm a "sensitive striver"。 I do look forward to completing the worksheet that accompanied the audiobook （and that I'm sure is available for those reading the physical copy） and seeing how Wilding's advice and experience can help me go further in my career。 。。。more

I purchased this book for a young professionals book club and dove right in。 I don't normally finish these types of books because I get bored or feel like they don't apply to me - but this one is different。 The way Melody has designed this book allows you to read， reflect， learn and then apply。 There are worksheets， quizzes， and interactive guides throughout the book and these were the things that made this book stand out for me。 I also really appreciate a book that celebrates parts of people th I purchased this book for a young professionals book club and dove right in。 I don't normally finish these types of books because I get bored or feel like they don't apply to me - but this one is different。 The way Melody has designed this book allows you to read， reflect， learn and then apply。 There are worksheets， quizzes， and interactive guides throughout the book and these were the things that made this book stand out for me。 I also really appreciate a book that celebrates parts of people that normally go uncelebrated。 I would highly recommend this book for anyone who leads teams and/or anyone who is looking to explore their own preferences and areas of development。 I promise you - you will read it happily and quickly and finish it with actionable items to help improve yourself and others。 。。。more

Jordan Gross ，

Proud to be。。。 A Sensitive Striver！ I had a chance to read through this book before it came out， and I was so ecstatic to see that there was a characterization for the ways I sometimes felt at work。 This is a revolutionary way to see soft skills in the workplace， and I am thrilled we now have a reason to embrace our emotions more often！

Olivia Adams ，

I have never felt more seen by a book。 This book was empowering and left me feeling even more confident about who I am and see how my strengths have supported my career success。 Above all， it’s a relief discovering a new term to describe my personality traits/how I feel and use that to navigate whatever life brings my way。 Highly recommend for fellow high achievers out there。
