I just finished the book and generally I enjoyed. As I am a hyper-emotional, I totally recognized me in many passages, especially when he speaks of idealism, the feeling of being on another planet, or hyper sensitivity to certain auditory stimuli or visual. By cons I do not recognize myself at all when speaking of mental surefficients, which have a very fast and global thinking, because I need time to process things, it also brings me sometimes in my work, and I also do not remember absolutely every visual detail when I go for example in a new place, although I am very sensitive to the emotional atmosphere. But all this is not really important. By cons there certain points with which I do not agree with the author. First when they speak of children 'gifted' who have problems and are not recognized for their specificity by their parent. In the past, education was certainly too strict, but at present it is the other extreme: I often see around me parents who do not pose any limits to their children, because 'it should not traumatize ', then that is necessary for the construction of his personality. Love does not sometimes prevents firmness. So then if the child with problems of concentration or discipline is mandatory, because it is a misunderstood genius! I caricature a little, but in any case, it's more what we feel in reading the teaching books, and also in this book. Then the book is sometimes too Manichean. I am also very often, because I see the world divided between those who are sensitive and those who are not, but I know I'm not totally objective. Basically, the author talks about the mental surefficients, which are sensitive and which are asking questions all, and normal-thinking, which are slow and, in short, are sheep who do not interested in great things. The reality is more complicated than that. This is not because hyper-emotional, we cry easily and we may, we must have a real sensitivity. Ie sensitivity turned towards others. I also experienced a lot of hyper-emotional who watched the navel and is quite enfichait other. Then it's not because we are not emotional, qu'obligatoirement there is a sheep who is interested in nothing. One can for example meet hyper-rational people without emotions, which are also passionate for example by science and are asking questions about the meaning of the universe. So I think the author caress too much in the direction of hair these drives. Finally, if I have learned anything in my life, is that true sensitivity, which is very rare, does not depend on nationality, religion, social class or even psychology profile of the person.
