Sensitive is the New Strong: The Power of Empaths in an Increasingly Harsh World by Anita Moorjani

Sensitive is the New Strong: The Power of Empaths in an Increasingly Harsh World is written by Anita Moorjani. It is an inspirational guide for sensitive people, focusing on intuition, empathy and the experience of being an empath in today’s harsh world.

Synopsis

Anita Moorjani, the bestselling author of Dying to Be Me, returns with a heartfelt book about recognising, supporting and using empathic gifts in a difficult, fear-based world. It describes how empaths can sense and absorb other people’s emotions, sometimes leading to sensory overload, confusion and low self-esteem, and how a desire to help may leave them vulnerable to opportunists or overextending their energy.

Moorjani argues that sensitivity, kindness and compassion can be transformed from an emotional burden into a powerful tool. The book aims to help empaths, whether newly recognising their sensitivity or already aware of it, navigate common obstacles, understand what makes them unique, and learn to claim their abilities while being their most authentic selves. It also includes personal anecdotes, insights from other empaths, meditations and self-affirming mantras.
