Discovering your zone of genius can be a game-changer for finding motivation and self-confidence. An exercise called the best stuff helps identify experiences where you excelled and enjoyed what you were doing. By listing and summarizing these experiences, themes can be identified, leading to a hypothesis about your zone of genius. Testing this hypothesis with input from others can confirm its accuracy. Treating yourself as another person and giving advice to that person can also provide valuable insights. Our ability to see flaws and strengths in others often surpasses our ability to see them in ourselves.
