The opening chapter hooked me - esp the line 'from prison warden to head of unruly monks'! (no spoiler alerts - read the book! With the pandemic, political and economic uncertainties - we all need a dose of positivity and strategies to keep sane and happy. Some of the methods in the book feel similar to other self-help books and there were references to the author's other books (which felt a little repetitive). However, it is a good book to help readers be more mindful, and work towards making the best of a bad situation.

This book is great for those who are looking to make a change in their creativity and get rid of negative thinking. The author tests out different exercises that show you how easy some of them can be if you just try. A thought provoking book. The narrator did great. I always prefer my books in audio form. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this in exchange for a review.

I found this book to be a very informative and insightful. I liked the hands on exercises. This book will interest people that are looking for self help without having to pay for a therapist.

The Genius Zone was just what I needed. My mind is stuck in the summer mood and I needed something to boost my motivation. I listen to podcasts often so I really enjoyed listening to this in audiobook format on my commute to and from work. The information was comprehensive enough that I wouldn’t forget it between drives. This was really well written and I think it could benefit many, especially after the pandemic. Get in your Genius Zone and get more creative fulfillment!

This book wants to provide readers with resources to end negative thoughts and spend the time in creative zone. The advice is simple and straight forward and easy to put into practice.

The narrator provides a calm voice that inspires confidence in the listener to try the exercises.

I actually read and review this book, but also requested the audio copy because I loved the message in this book. The personal story this author shares are heartfelt and make the book that much more enjoyable. I love looking inside myself to find a better me. I thought the hands on exercises did a great job of this. They were thought provoking and helpful. So much of the happiness in our lives is having a positive attitude. The narrator did a great job of reading this book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to also listen to this book.
