I am not sure if the first look would have been better if I had the first chapter, but getting a chapter later in the book I feel like I was missing a lot. It's a typical self-help book where the author mostly includes stories from their own life experience. I would have liked to maybe start at the beginning of the book. I am sure this would be good for some. I was just hoping as a highly-sensitive person it would be something I could apply to my life. Possibly other chapters would apply. I would certainly give this book another try though.
