Previously live-streamed on March 16, 2023: Boswell Books and Porchlight Book Company present an interview with Andre Sólo, co-author of Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Everyone has a sensitive side, but research estimates that nearly 1 in 3 people have the genes to be more sensitive than others-both physically and emotionally. These are the people who pause before speaking, think before acting; they tune into subtle details and make connections that others miss. By the creators of the world’s largest community for sensitive people, Sensitive teaches us how to unlock the potential of this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of our lives: in friendships and relationships, the workplace, leadership, and parenting. Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo-sensitive people themselves-show readers that the way to thrive with this trait is not to hide it, but to embrace it, and they demonstrate how to do that in each area of life. A powerfully validating, destigmatizing, and practical book, Sensitive plants a gently fluttering flag in the ground for sensitive people everywhere.

Andre Sólo is the cofounder and editor-in-chief of Sensitive Refuge, the world’s largest website for sensitive people (sensitiverefuge.com) and Chief Make-It-Happen Officer for Introvert, Dear. A researcher and sensitive person himself, he is the co-author of SENSITIVE: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World. Sólo writes about sensitivity at Psychology Today, Forbes, and Quartz, and has been featured in HuffPost, the Washington Post, Vogue, MSNBC, The Telegraph, and numerous podcasts. An avid speaker, he has taken the stage at Amazon and internationally to speak about sensitive people and sensitive leadership. Sólo divides his time between New Orleans and Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he stays up too late, over-waters his houseplants, and has a soft spot for fellow misfits.
Andre was in conversation with Porchlight's Managing Director Sally Haldorson.
SALLY HALDORSON'S mission as Porchlight’s Managing Director is to make Porchlight a great place to work for employees, and a consistently high-performing service organization for everyone in or orbiting the publishing industry. After 25 years working in book retail, she has developed a penchant for business strategy, both as a socio-economic force and a literary genre. Happy to put her English and Creative Writing degrees to work, she helped craft three editions of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time, and she reads, writes, and reviews for the company’s marketing team. Sally lives north of Milwaukee with her husband, son, and dog, and, in her spare time, rather doggedly works to perfect her writing skills and her tennis game, unsure which is the more Sisyphean endeavor.
