Review

“Hendricks provides a clear path for achieving our true potential and attaining not only financial success but also success in love and life.”

From the Back Cover

Most of us believe that we will finally feel satisfied and content with our lives when we get the good news we have been waiting for, find a healthy relationship, or achieve one of our personal goals. However, this rarely happens. Good fortune is often followed by negative emotions that overtake us and result in destructive behaviors. "I don't deserve this," "this is too good to be true," or any number of harmful thought patterns prevent us from experiencing the joy and satisfaction we have earned. Sound familiar? This is what New York Times bestselling 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 one thousand 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.

Very uplifting and practical approach to crafting a worldview of optimism and exuberance. Great for anyone, but definitely creatives, people experiencing a life change, or someone with grand ambitions of success…again anyone can glean something useful from their time with the book too!

Great meditation… short on action

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

The Big Leap is a great book with a mundane title. It’s in the vein of Think and Grow rich and other books which encourage you to align your inner self with a conscious invitation to more. This book reads like an essay of the authors personal reflections, but I have conviction that there is science and research to back up the Upper Limit theory simply because it matches attachment theory and other findings that we carry behaviors and childhood lessons into the future no matter how harmful they are.

The guidance for working through the Upper Limit problem is a series of meditations; which may prove helpful but that needs to be measured on a time scale different than the book. For the time period awareness is helpful—it would be helpful if this worked through some challenges when upper limit problems surface in interpersonal challenges; or further how to disarm an argument. But there are other books that treat that as the aim.

Insights worth your reading time

Our problems are all basically psychological. That's why a book that helps you get to the root of our most deeply hidden internal issues is useful.

I suspect most ppl who read this will have an epiphany or 3 or 5, since we're not taught to monitor and communicate our feelings. This book shows us how those secret things hold us back in ways we can't understand. Once you understand what is happening, the power of them begins to break.

I’ll be honest felt like I was reading a self help book. I tried to push through the first 2 chapters but it was just boring to me. Easy to read large print but just was not what I was expecting.

Simple, concise, and entertaining. This book is very impactful psychologically and it is appropriate in length. The author distills very complex and insightful ideas into straightforward and easy to assimilate information, which is masterfully done. My only gripe is that there a couple of questionable claims by the author, but if you can overlook those, this book is a gem.
