The Distance of Happiness: Rules for a Harmonious Life for Introverts and Highly Sensitive People

Have you ever been told to be more sociable, make decisions faster, worry less about everything, and generally take life more easily? Such advice is often given to introverts and people with high sensitivity. For them, it can be hard to defend their views and maintain personal boundaries both in the workplace and among friends.

In her book “The Distance of Happiness,” Ilse Sand—author of international bestsellers and a psychotherapist—offers simple recommendations for those who want harmony with themselves in an environment that is mostly made up of extroverts. The advice will help strengthen self-confidence, accept your psychological traits, and use your strengths. These recommendations are useful not only for introverts and highly sensitive people, but also for those who face stress, psychological trauma, or emotional burnout.
