Elena V. Amber
Elena V. Amber is a hybrid author with a debut creative non-fiction book "The Gift of Sensitivity: The Extraordinary Power of Emotional Engagement in Life and Work.” The book explores sensitivity, which helps to unlock innovation, intuition, inclusiveness, creativity, and originality in an age of technological acceleration. The official release is on Nov 21st, 2023.
The book has already been well-received by professional reviewers: "A compelling perspective on the way a form of neurodivergence can ultimately drive effective adaptations rather than serve as a source of difficulty... a unique self-help book focused on the benefits of sensitivity." - Kirkus Reviews.
"Elena V. Amber's helpful spiritual guidebook The Gift of Sensitivity encourages self-care, compassion, and learning to see emotion as a gift." - Foreword Clarion Reviews.
"In this fascinating and insightful work, the author combines her personal experiences of being an emotionally sensitive person with a well-considered exploration of the quality of EQ (emotional quotient, or our level of emotional intelligence) and how it can be a massive asset to teams, workplaces, and life in general if fully harnessed." - Reader's Favorite.
With over 15 years of international business and startup experience, Elena has led and supported multiple ventures across various industries and markets, leveraging her C-level executive background and her cross-cultural management skills. She has polydisciplinary degrees in management, biology, executive business administration, and psychology at the Master’s level and is also pursuing her Ph.D. at the University of Nicosia, Cyprus. In this work, she blends behavioral psychology and economics and applies neuroscience to study the behavioral factors that influence sustainable consumption and engagement in the Experience Economy.
"What wakes me up: How can we liberate emotions fast and in mass?" A mind, making decisions from a free heart, is crucially different from a version of it, relying on a traumatized self. Change your state, and you will change your life. This is a point. And my life passion.” This vision initiated Small Dots, a health-tech project developing a platform empowering people to discover, transform, and express their emotional potential for life and work.
Elena's next planned books are: "Notes of Sensitive Resurgent," a companion book for The Gift of Sensitivity, where she plans to explain the main discoveries of her 8-year experiment on meditation, celibacy and emotional work, and "Buying Urge: A Mysterious Force That Fuels Human Prosperity," that culminates her current academic research.
