Summary: "Living Sensationally explains how your individual sensory patterns affect the way you react to everything that happens to you throughout the day. Each one of us can identify with one of four major sensory patterns: Seekers; Bystanders; Avoiders; and Sensors. Using the questionnaire in this book you can find out your own sensory pattern and compare it to that of your partner or co-worker. For example, if you are a Seeker who lives with an Avoider, you may find you clash when it comes to going out, or choosing food. This book helps you understand how sensory conflicts arise and how best to deal with them at home and at work." - BOOK JACKET.

Patron comment on

Found it very helpful for my work ; as I work with a consumer who will benefit from what I was able to take from this book and put into practice. It gave me a different view on how things may be seen by other people.
