Publisher's Summary

This program includes an introduction read by the author.

Too often we live lives that we find unfulfilling, fail to reach our own potential, and neglect to practice creativity in our daily routines. Gay Hendricks' The Genius Zone offers a way to change that by tapping into your own innate creativity.

Dr. Gay Hendricks broke new ground with his best-selling classic The Big Leap, which has become an essential resource for coaches, entrepreneurs, executives, and health practitioners around the world. Originally published as The Joy of Genius, The Genius Zone has been updated and expanded throughout, making it the essential next step beyond The Big Leap.

In The Genius Zone, Hendricks introduces his brilliant exercise, the Genius Move, a simple, life-altering practice that allows listeners to end negative thinking and thrive authentically. By using the Genius Move, listeners will learn to spend more of their lives in their zone of genius - where creativity flows freely and they are actively pursuing the things that offer them fulfillment and satisfaction. Filled with hands-on exercises and personal stories from the author, The Genius Zone is an essential guide to creative fulfillment. If you are committed to bringing forth your innate genius and making your largest possible creative contribution, The Genius Zone will become a trusted companion for the journey.

Personal Awareness

Viceral truth transcends time. I feel this book will hold its own in the personal development arena throughout future decades.

Worth reading, but the usual Hendricks downsides

Hendricks has some great ideas. “The Big Leap” contains a key life changing idea of the Upper Limit Problem. I was hoping this book would build upon The Big Leap.

But this book is held back by overuse of corny lingo like “Genius Move”, “Genius Spiral”, “Genius Marker”, etc. Reminiscent of the life-coach scene in the 90s and early 00s when they all seemed to think they needed “zany” and light-hearted jargon such as this. But to me it just trivialises and undermines its potential to change lives. There’s still good stuff in here though, you’ll just have to wade through The Swamp of Tacky Jargon and swat away The Mosquitoes of Side-stories and maintain your course on The Path to Genius…

The book’s central theme isn’t always clear, and by that I mean that at times I got lost and wasn’t sure what the destination was. It’s not laid out in a logical manner one building block at a time. It almost feels like I’m receiving wisdom from a wise grandfather who occasionally veers off topic and it’s a while before I realise he’s now talking about an unrelated thing. I’m grateful for the wisdom but it’s mentally taxing and confusing trying to make sense of the ideas and put them into a cognitive structure that will stick.

I don’t know if the author has an editing team or whether he just doesn’t listen to them, but some structural advice and editing would really amplify the impact of his writing.

Still worth reading, and it’s an easy read/listen, but be prepared to do the work: take notes, sequence the ideas, do the exercises.
