Your Big Leap Year is a book I’ll find myself listening to over and over as there is such value in it. Such wisdom and guidance throughout these pages. I remember waking up and starting this book at 5am and couldn’t stop listening throughout my day.

I enjoyed the narration but would highly recommend picking up a physical copy because if you’re anything like me you’ll want to highlight and write all over this worthy book. Gay Hendricks does an excellent job providing the resources and tools to make a difference in your life and those around you. It’s the perfect mix of the power of positive thinking and not sweating the small stuff. Get yourself a glass of tea(your favorite beverage), a journal and a pen and be prepared to change your life through self work.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for an ALC in exchange for my honest opinion. 4 self motivating stars. I highly recommend.

This is a great addition to the topic of mind over everything. Shifting our thoughts to build our equanimity to achieve our goals has to one of the hottest topic at the moment. Being mindful and teaching ourself to rewire our genetic or environmental wiring seems to be added to every curriculum, work place and household. Trying to cultivate the thoughts to keep the leaping going takes a great deal of effort but from personal experience and a former skeptic, it is all the way possible. Consistency and community is key. I certainly would recommend this read if you too are on a journey of renewal and self discovery.

I read The Big Leap last year or so and I really loved it - it really gives you a great look at how manifestation works and how to do it. This is sort of a companion book to that one.  This book is a 365 day workbook that you can start at any time of the year.  Each day builds on the last to help you ;manifest your dreams. The beginning days work on just getting you in the correct mindset. Opening your mind to reach your potential and create the life you want. 

I started listening to this book and found it hard to actually use it the way it is meant to be used, so I wound up buying a paperback copy. Some may find the audio book easier but for me for this type of book I needed a physical copy.

I just finished listening to Gay Hendricks’ Your Big Leap Year: a year to manifest your next-level life…starting today! And one of the books biggest strengths also happens to what somewhat of a drawback to the audio version. What do I mean? This is a book that has you focusing on a single idea/task each day. Yes, many steps build upon the one before. But each day is an easy bite-sized task, piece of information to help you improve upon yourself. And as such it’s meant to be used daily and I truly believe it will work better, or perhaps I should say be easier to digest it in book form, reading over the pages pertaining to the current day/task rather than listening for just the tiny audio bite. Don’t get me wrong. I love audiobooks, both fiction and nonfiction and listen books everyday while out walking. But for a book such as this, which I will inaccurately refer to as a daily devotional of sorts, I’m thinking paper or digital is the way to do. While I enjoyed the information, I took it in all at once. (Well over the course of just a few days anyway) and as such I don’t think I got the full effect I would (and will) from using it as intended, aka the daily dose. I fully intend pick up either a physical or digital copy, and will go through it again, but this time day by day rather than over just a few days. How do I rate it? Well just how well it work is hard for me is hard say at this point, but I look forward to giving it a real go when I pick it up in either physical/digital form. But the information seemed solid even, just overwhelming when listened to all at once. I’d like to thank Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for allowing me the chance to listen to an advanced copy of the audio version of Your Big Leap Year.

I started listening to this one and then immediately realized I should have read The Big Leap first or I wasn't really going to have any background on what this book was talking about. I highly recommend you do the same. Though I have to say I didn't love The Big Leap and I felt like a lot of it was a bit ridiculous. However, I understand why the author wanted to write this second book- to give readers some actionable items to focus on.

I love the fact that it gives you one thing to do each day for an entire year. But I'm not quite certain why the publisher decided to release it as an audiobook. It basically just lists the task for each day. So, unless you're going to hit play every day for a few seconds to hear what you're supposed to do, this is silly. The book would really work best in a workbook format with space to write your own notes each day.

I'm still going to continue this for the year, but I don't know how much it's going to change my life. So much of it is just thinking about things or repeating mantras out loud. This may work for some people, but isn't really my speed.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to review this audiobook. I tuned in with great anticipation ready to take giant leaps but was soon disappointed. The author offered very good content. The big miss for me was putting this in audiobook form. All of the days run together and there’s not much time or room to ponder the thoughts unless you constantly stop the book. This defeats the purpose of an audiobook in my opinion.

I'm a big fan of Gay Hendricks' foundational, bestselling book, The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level. When I saw a chance to review this devotional-style follow-up, I jumped to get a copy.

When I saw that the deadline was close, I was happy to take a chance with the audiobook version. The content is what I'd hoped for the follow-up. It is a practical how-to. Each day has an explanation followed by a practice. Each day builds upon the content that came before it.

Dr. Hendricks revisits the four zones made famous in The Big Leap: incompetence, competence, excellence, and genius. He explains why we want to spend most of our work time in the genius zone; that is where our highest success is found. Then he gives daily, actionable, practical steps to help readers reach their zone of genius more often.

I would recommend this book in Kindle, hardback, or paperback format, but not in audiobook form, the format in which I received an advanced copy for review. The author does an excellent job reading it. I tried to listen in short bursts for each day's lesson; however, that didn't fit with my audiobook listening style. I turn to audio when my hands are busy with other work or driving. Then I want longer chunks of material to keep my interest longer, not a shorter, daily format.

In conclusion, I would recommend the book for those looking to pick up after The Big Leap. You decide which format best fits your lifestyle and order it.

This one felt very repetitive, and also the content made for a really awful audiobook. I feel like this would be much better as a daily tear off calendar. It's not really enough content to be a book, in my opinion. I'm rating it as 2 stars, because I felt a lot of it was the same thing, just reworded several times through the book. It just doesn't feel substantial enough to be a book.

I don’t think this book should be an audiobook. You really need to have it in front of you more like a workbook for each day. The ideas are good and if you put them into practice I am sure they would work.
