Synopsis

You feel everything… and you crave everything.
If that lands in your chest like a truth you’ve always felt but never fully named, you may be one of the rare few we call a Wild Sensitive™, a person that is both a Highly Sensitive Person and a High Sensation Seeker. This book is your invitation to stop shrinking around your intensity and start rising with it.

The Wild Sensitive: Unlocking the Power of the Highly Sensitive Sensation Seeker is more than a book. With a powerful foreword by Tracy Cooper, Ph.D., a leading researcher on High Sensation Seeking in HSPs, it’s a companion for those who live between stillness and adventure, those who cry at sunsets, shiver at music, and feel the pull toward silence and edge, often in the same breath.

Contrary to cultural belief, this way of being is not a contradiction or a flaw, it’s the foundation for a powerful, purposeful personality. One that, when empowered, opens the doorway to a life lived boldly and fully. You are exquisitely built to notice the subtle and to seek the extraordinary. Yet you are more than a category. You are a complex, creative force meant to feel deeply and live expansively.

Written by Randy Grasser and Annet van Duinen, two Wild Sensitives turned Living Adventurers, this is the first guide of its kind to explore the full potential of the HSP-HSS identity through lived experience, deep research, and radical honesty.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• What it truly means to live with this rare dual wiring
• How to transform cycles of overstimulation, burn-out, bore-out, and emotional confusion
• Original transformational tools like the Adventure Triskelion and the 6 Zones of the Wild Sensitive which guide you through daily life
• Lived stories of exploration, resilience, and relationships from those who’ve walked the edge
• And the deep reclamation of your right to be whole, emotional, intense, insightful, and free

You’ll come away with a grounded understanding of yourself, the tools to live in alignment, and a powerful reframe:
You were built for this life.
You carry the raw material for courage, clarity, and connection.
This is your permission to live awake, alive, and fully expressed.

Welcome home, Wild Sensitive. The adventure begins now.
