This inspiring and inventive guide teaches listeners how to develop their full potential by following the example of the greatest genius of all time, Leonardo da Vinci. Acclaimed author Michael J. Gelb, who has helped thousands of people expand their minds to accomplish more than they ever thought possible, shows you how.

Drawing on Da Vinci's notebooks, inventions, and legendary works of art, Gelb introduces Seven Da Vincian Principles - the essential elements of genius - from curiosità, the insatiably curious approach to life to connessione, the appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things. With Da Vinci as your inspiration, you will discover an exhilarating new way of thinking. And step by step, through exercises and provocative lessons, you will harness the power - and awesome wonder - of your own genius, mastering such life-changing abilities as:

  • Problem solving
  • Creative thinking
  • Self-expression
  • Enjoying the world around you
  • Goal setting and life balance
  • Harmonizing body and mind

the real value of this book is the authors exercises that come in each chapter. for example finding similaries between 2 items like oriental rugs & psychoanalysis (they both have complex patterns that repeat) the book is filled with these. They are very obvious exercises that lead to a more engage life or single experience. Very fun book. get ready to take notes! :)

full of wonderful ideas and exercises

I didn't like this book. I tried and I listened to the whole thing. it's his interpretation of how he wants to have you think.

I love Leonardo Da Vinci but this was bad

I REALLY ENJOYED THE WAY HIS CREATIVE PROCESS IS IS SIMILAR LIKE MINE. INTERESTED IN ADDING SOME MORE OF HIS FORM AND STRATEGY TO MY ROUTINE THINKING. I LEARNED WHY HE THINKS CREATIVITY IS THE WAY TO LIVE AND THATS WHAT IM INTERESTED IN . HE ALSO SHOWS YOU HOW TO THINK WHILE YOU EAT.

THIS BOOK IS A AWESOME

Very inspiring and a lot of hidden knowledge in this book. I read for the first time 10 years ago and re-read it know. I realized that I applied many of the techniques and tried to follow parts of the teachings in the book. Other parts I still need to embrace. It’s from about that year I read it my life radically changed to the better. I recommend this book as probably the most influential book I ever read.

Inspiring and great book

Kinda 3 books in one. The first part is about Leonardo and his processes. The second part is more of a self help book based on Leonardo principles. Lastly it is a push to learn to draw and focus on art skills.

It amounted to drawing mind maps with extensive mentions and descriptions of art utensils and how drawing helps one see. a bunch of how to live well stuff.

wasn't quite what I expected
