BOOK SUMMARY

How do you feel when you: bite in to a pear...
wear a feather boa...
stand in a noisy auditorium...
or look for a friend in a crowd?

It’s likely that one of these situations would be pleasant for you, and perhaps one would be unpleasant. Some people will adore the grainy texture of a pear, while others will shudder at the idea of putting this texture in their mouths. Being next to a feather boa will be fun and luxurious to some, and others will bristle at the idea of all those feathers brushing on the skin. Noisy, busy environments will energize some people, and will overwhelm others.

This myriad of reactions reflects people’s individual sensory patterns, and these patterns affect the way we react to everything that happens to us throughout the day. Living Sensationally walks the reader through the key features of the four major sensory types: Seekers, Bystanders, Avoiders and Sensors. The author helps readers to identify their own patterns and the patterns of those around them, and then offers suggestions for harnessing this knowledge to make their lives more in synch with their sensations and by doing so, make their life sensational.

Living Sensationally is the quintessential resource on sensation and how it relates to our everyday living. The author translates research into practical ideas for individuals, families and businesses. When one’s complex array of sensations is understood, life can really be sensational for everyone. Armed with the information in Living Sensationally, people will pick just the right kind of clothing, job and home and know why they are making such choices.
