Confessions of a Sensitive Man

"Confessions of a Sensitive Man" was written for every man or boy that was told that they are too emotional. Masculinity isn't defined by how much you feel, sense or experience emotionally. Twenty percent of the male population is highly sensitive, and this book is a starting point for them to become self-validated.

"Confessions of a Sensitive Man" was written for every man or boy that was told that they are too emotional. Masculinity isn't defined by how much you feel, sense or experience emotionally. Twenty percent of the male population is highly sensitive, and this book is a starting point for them to become self-validated. In many ways, this book was written by my older self for my younger self. It is with that hope that I offer this book to younger highly sensitive boys and men.

William Allen is a first-time author with a writer's heart and researcher's mind. After getting a degree in Psychology with an eye on doing psychology research, he re-calibrated for a career in Information Technology. He found himself in a thirty-year career as an Information Technology manager who enjoyed managing highly intelligent, often difficult staff, many of whom were highly sensitive. He retired early from his corporate job to found his Hypno-coaching and neurofeedback brain training business, BrainPilots, in Bend, Oregon. In late 2016, he began his blog, The Sensitive Man, about his experiences, as a highly sensitive man. The blog became the genesis of his book, Confessions of a Sensitive Man. Not only is Allen an HSP, but the son of HSP parents, father of HSP children and grandfather of HSP grandchildren. He feels that there is a need for a different take on sensitivity in men framed in a greater cultural and societal context. Allen feels that HSP males need to take their keen insights and intuition and make them public. There is a great need to teach HSP men and especially boys to embrace their highly sensing natures. This book is a step in that direction.
