My guest today is Gay Hendricks who is a psychologist and leader in the fields of personal growth, relationship transformation and bodymind therapies for more than 45 years. He is the author of numerous bestsellers, including The Big Leap, The Genius Zone, and Conscious Loving.

In our conversation, Gay and I talk about what he calls the Upper Limit Problem - a concept in which we ourselves tend to sabotage our own successes, preventing us from reaching our own full potential. We dive deep into how the Upper Limit Problem works in order to better understand where it's coming from and more importantly, how to overcome it. Gay walks us through some of the strategies described in his book, The Big Leap Year, to break through the upper limit problem and reach an area he calls The Genius Zone where you can grow in your own innate creativity and live a more fulfilling life.

If you feel that something keeps holding you back from your own breakthrough, I highly recommend that you listen to my conversation with Gay Hendricks as well as read his books, The Genius Zone and The Big Leap Year. He offers life-altering strategies in order for you to end negative thinking so you can live more freely in your own genius zone and creative fulfillment.
