Gay Hendricks - How to Not Lose Yourself in your Relationships and How to Use Your Zone of Genius to Thrive

Gay Hendricks is a psychologist, writer, and teacher - specialising in personal growth, relationships, and body intelligence.

Gay received his Ph.D. in counselling psychology from Stanford University, and twenty years later he set up the Hendricks Institute - an International Learning Center that teaches core skills for conscious living. As a coach, he’s coached more than eight hundred executives, from firms like Dell and HP. He has also written over 40 books, including The Big Leap - where he coined the ‘zone of genius’ that so many people talk about today. Along with his wife, Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks, he has co-authored many books including Conscious Loving - where they explore how you can have creativity, and happiness in your relationships all through life - shedding relationship habits that keep us small and stuck. 

In this episode we talk about relationships and how to live in our full potential:

• How to take responsibility in relationships - and avoid racing to the victim position
• How not to lose yourself in relationships
• Why your happiness about someone's flaws is normally enabled by you
• Why there is 200% responsibility to take in the relationship
• How to radically eradicate criticism from your relationship
• Why a fear of being fundamentally flawed or outshining someone can hold us back
• how do we stop nagging and instead use that energy for our own creativity?

This an episode for anyone interested in getting more from life, in understanding how they can build more fulfilling relationships and work.
