A book of repetitive examples
- By CLAUDIA on 10-21-20

Publisher's Summary
Sound familiar? This is what New York Times best-selling author Gay Hendricks calls the Upper Limit Problem, a negative emotional reaction that occurs when anything positive enters our lives. The Upper Limit Problem not only prevents happiness, but it actually stops us from achieving our goals. It is the ultimate life roadblock.
In The Big Leap, Hendricks reveals a simple yet comprehensive program for overcoming this barrier to happiness and fulfillment, presented in a way that engages both the mind and heart. Working closely with more than 1,000 extraordinary achievers in business and the arts, from rock stars to Fortune 500 executives, whose stories are featured in these pages, the book describes the four hidden fears that are at the root of the Upper Limit Problem.
The Big Leap delivers a proven method for first identifying which of these four fears prevents us from reaching our personal upper limit, and then breaking through that limitation to achieve what Hendricks refers to as our Zone of Genius. Hendricks provides a clear path for achieving our true potential and attaining not only financial success but also success in love and life.

Inspiring, useful, a little preachy but VERY good
Thought-provoking, inspiring, a little preachy but otherwise VERY good...
I agree with other reviews that this book starts off feeling a little anthonyrobbinesque (yes I did just make that word up haha) - but I was intrigued to see where it went, and how it developed.
I found it extremely useful more as a springboard for exploring my own situation and my own limits. I am somewhat skeptical by nature, and so took the book as I do any self-help resource - with a good grain of salt and an open mind.
I would say that anyone expecting a manual for success will probably be somewhat disappointed - but anyone with the courage to look inside themselves and honestly ask what holds them back from happiness and success will find the book inspiring and thought provoking.
No book holds "the answers" in itself, but I think this book could help people to begin really *looking* for the answers.
I'm listening to this for the 2nd time, and am buying a copy for a friend. I think that speaks as loud as any long-winded review, hm? ;)

This book is really eye opening. Does this sound like you – You have success and things are going very well. Then something goes wrong and you end up back where you were. Has that happened in your career, with your finances or your relationships? If you said yes, The Big Leap is for you. It is about how to recognize your upper limit behavior and break through you self imposed glass ceiling.

This really gets you thinking... life-changing!!
I'm in the process of reinventing myself in my 50's having become a Life Coach a little over a year ago. I'm always looking to up-level myself and most books can be helpful but I find often times it's something I've heard before or maybe just didn't resonate with me. Well, this book is different... I immediately hit replay after I'd finished it because there's so much GOLD in it that I knew I had to listen again to absorb more of the incredible insights it offers. Gay has a great way of putting things... his playfulness and witty choice of words makes it fun to listen to and his passion makes you want what he's got. Love this book!!!

Monotonous & slow - sad, as was recommended highly
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The premise is engaging -- but the author's reading and clinical terminology killed it for me.
Full disclosure -- I (started) listening to it on a cross-country road trip directly after listening to "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck", which is charming, written for humans (not students -- or faculty -- as "The Big Leap seems to be"), and read by someone other than the author -- who knew how to engage an audience.
In comparison, "The Big Leap" is slow and technical. I only made it though 20 or 30 minutes of it before giving up and trying something else.
Sad, because it came highly recommended to me by a mentor/friend. Guess they hadn't "read" anything more friendly before "reading" this book.
What could Gay Hendricks have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The terms the author used to identify various stages/actions/ideas in the book were long and forgettable. In fact, I've forgotten them all, so can't think of a specific example -- but they seemed to only made sense to someone who committed to reading/listening to the entire book (who heard them often enough for them to stick).
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The homogeneous tone of the author's voice killed it for me -- getting a trained narrator to read this book would have helped make it more palatable.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Big Leap?
Didn't make it far enough to answer this...
Any additional comments?
Thanks for trying -- it seems to help lots of people -- I'm just not one of them.

How to get richer if you’re already rich
Any additional comments?
As I reached the halfway point in this book, I realized that every example given of a person who wanted a better life, already had a fabulous life. It seemed that everyone the author counseled was already a powerful person, making big money and living the high life. He explains how they can become even richer and happier if they only use his insights. I’m sure that most people can increase their happiness by being kinder to themselves and others, so I don’t dispute that. But Much of what he says strikes me as being like the so-called abundance ministries, which preach that you can become wealthy via magical thinking. I was put off as well by all the name dropping of the celebrities he and his wife are friends with, as if this somehow enhances his credentials, and by the author’s numerous references to his own wealth. There is little here for the average person in the average job, other than to approach life without too much drama, because they can’t walk away from those jobs to seek their “genius.”

Learn about your upper limits and why you always seem to sabotage getting ahead. Find out what your genius level is and how to start operating on it.

Just what I've been looking for
Hendricks put into words a phenomenon I had experienced throughout my adult life that I have never been able to describe until now. There are plenty of self development books that will tell you what steps to follow to be successful, but this is the only one I have found that teaches you how to overcome your aversion to taking those steps in the first place. Brilliantly written and wonderfully narrated.

Insights into why we undershoot our potential
I read this in paperback last year and really enjoyed it, yet as with many personal development products/services, I felt I needed more to get the key learning points really down pat. This recording just does that for me.
If you haven't read the book, this audio version can definitely stand alone and is a really good listen.
Great that the author is doing the reading, and he does it very well, with humour, gentleness and wisdom, in a style that's easy to listen to. Gay provides really practical insights into why so many of us undershoot our potential, often unwittingly, and have hidden 'upper limits' that we don't even realise are holding us back.
For me it reprised some real 'aha' moments, and reminded me of important things I'd forgotten once the book was back on the shelf. That's one of the reasons I like audiobooks: somehow it's easier to listen to them over and over and dip back in when I feel the need.

The Big Leap - let it change the way you think!
The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks is by far the best personal development book I've ever read (or even better, listened to!).
Gay makes everything very clear, and gives easy steps to take in order to improve your mindset, which in turns allows you to make positive changes.
The audiobook format is excellent, as it's so easy to focus on what's being said when you're listening, rather than being distracted whilst reading. I'm listening to it for the second time already!
I've recommended this to a dozen of my friends.

the idea and intentions are good but its dreadful. badly written, authors voice bored me to death and the examples he gives are ridiculous. Bill Clinton didnt get his dick sucked because he had reached his upper limit and had to stop his success. He did it because he was a man in power and he enjoyed getting his dick sucked

I loved it!❤
I loved it and whilst reading I often stopped to rewind and listen again to sections. One of best recommendations I've had in a long time (Thank you Tamsin from Motherly Misfits) and definitely a book I will listen to again and again. I'm off to step into my zone of genius and check out the author's website....

Using the mantra with success!
Simple, fun, from the heart insights about upper limits. I loved the candid stories from Gay's childhood.

The lovely leap
Loved it! Listened to this driving in the country and it has shifted my thinking about time, happiness, success and motivation. It will become one of my regular listens … having finished it, I’m ready to return to the start and go again.

Such wisdom
This book discusses topics that really matter- Gay is a brilliant author and human. I’ve made friends with my upper limit problem and ready to go for it!
