Summary
Where does all of this leave us? Is high sensation-seeking a superpower, as illustrated in the last chapter, or is it a super peril, as discussed earlier? What of the questions I set out to answer in this book? Are high sensation-seekers different than the rest of us? Is there something wrong with them? Is being a high sensation-seeker dangerous? Should we try to change their behavior?
