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's The Genius Zone offers a way to change that by tapping into your own innate creativity.

By using the Genius Move, readers 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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Psychologist Hendricks (Conscious Loving) explores in this satisfactory but simplistic guide the process of realizing one's creative potential. He suggests one must ask the "wonder question": "How can I spend the majority of my time doing what I most love to do, while also making my greatest contribution to the world?" To open one's mind, he suggests breath work and prioritizing tasks to give oneself time to "focus on excellence." Also included are activities intended to be completed while reading, such as releasing a grip on a ball in a too-literal lesson about metaphorically letting go. Committing to something isn't what's important, Hendricks argues, it is the recommitting that must continuously happen. He suggests incompleteness—or a lack of closure—is what feeds persistent negative thinking, and suggests that achieving one's goals or working on a fulfilling project can stymie repetitive negative thoughts. While Hendricks provides some helpful ideas about creativity, the exercises generally land as bland, and readers well-versed in the topic won't find much new here. But for those new to the idea, there's plenty to recommend in this practical workbook.
