The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level Audiobook

" I wanted to like this book; it does have inspiring ideas and anecdotes. Hendricks can probably be immensely helpful to work with; as for how to implement the practices on one's own and the likelihood of doing so? Less than optimistic about that. "

" In The Big Leap, Gay Hendricks puts forth that our last and only obstacle that holds us back from attaining ultimate success in wealth, work and love is what he has termed an "Upper Limit Problem". The Upper Limit Problem is our universal human tendency to sabotage ourselves when we have exceeded the artifical upper limit we have placed on ourselves. It is caused by us setting a too-low thermostat on our ability to achieve and enjoy success. We tend to do this in our childhood, when we could not think for ourselves. Later as we dream of big goals that are above our thermostat setting, we find ourselves bumping against this artifical limit. A set of four barriers forms the foundation of our Upper Limit Problem. The first barrier is the false belief that we are fundamentally flawed; second, is the false belief that by succeeding, we are being disloyal to and leaving behind people; third, is the false belief that we are a burden in the world; and fourth, is the false belief that we should not outshine someone in our past. Hendricks imparts advice on how to spot our Upper Limit Problem, steps to take to transcend the problem, and discover our Zone of Genius. Overall, the book offers interesting insights to the limits we learn to place on ourselves growing up which ultimately becomes our own hurdle as adults. "

" An unexpectedly helpful self help book. Keeping much in mind as I grow and continue to learn about my place and my happy purpose here. "

" so kick-ass, i think i'm going to read it again. "

" This is one of Gay Hendricks' best books since "Conscious Living." It's inspiring and offers concrete advice. I like the fact that he has a lot of integrity, too. He doesn't endorse every other self-help book out there, the way some self-help authors do. "

" While reading this book, I kept thinking "oh I wish so and so would read this!" because it spoke to me in ways I didn't expect. While simplistic in theory, the overall message is powerful. We stand in the way of our own successes. A must read! "

" Very accessible book discussing how our inner doubts we've been holding our entire lives have been stunting our true potential. Good message, though limited in details and exploration. "

" This was one of those books that I finished, and immediately turned back to page 1 to start again. Gay is a revolutionary thinker in the world of relationships and self-help. Looking forward to reading more of his stuff! "

" Transformational ideas. Have given it as a gift to people who are making life decisions about whether to step out into a new path. FABULOUS! "
