Gay Hendricks is an American psychologist, relationship expert, and self-help author focused on personal growth, conscious living, and intimacy. He is best known for The Big Leap and Conscious Loving, coauthored with Kathlyn Hendricks. His books have reached wide international audiences and influenced coaching and relationship counseling communities.
Gay Hendricks developed from an academic psychologist into a public teacher of personal growth, relationships, and body intelligence. Raised in central Florida, he earned a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Stanford in 1974 and then spent 21 years at the University of Colorado before founding the Hendricks Institute and later helping launch the Foundation for Conscious Living. One of his own stated turning points came around age 30, when he began organizing his life around a simple question of purpose and a commitment to doing what he most loved.
