Once programmed, our Upper Limit thermostat setting holds us back from enjoying all the love, financial abundance, and creativity that's rightfully ours. Unfortunately, our thermostat setting usually gets programmed in early childhood, before we can think for ourselves. When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will often do something to sabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back into the old, familiar zone where we feel secure. Let me show you specifically how the Upper Limit Problem holds us back:Įach of us has an inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy. Hendricks provides a clear path for achieving our true potential and attaining not only financial success but also success in love and life. 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. 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. 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. The Upper Limit Problem not only prevents happiness, but it actually stops us from achieving our goals.

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. '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. Good fortune is often followed by negative emotions that overtake us and result in destructive behaviors. 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.
