Your zone of genius sounds like a mythical wonderland.

I’ve seen so many people tackle the topic (here, here, here, and here). It almost feels supernatural in the way people talk about it. Like it’s some god mode you get after a silent meditation retreat and 50 doses of ketamine.

Your zone of genius should matter to you because it’s the crucial ingredient found in high performers. And let’s face it … high performers live the good life, and the results for being average suck. So it’s essential to master.

I’ve found my zone of genius and it’s not complicated. Let me explain so you can find yours without joining a new-age cult.

Where the zone of genius *isn’t* found

The spiritual gurus want you to believe you have natural-born talents and these are part of your zone of genius.

I disagree.

What you’re born with isn’t all you get in life. You can be born an introvert and become an extrovert. You can be born bad at math and later in life become a master of numbers.
