    By Peter Hollins


    Hear it Here - https://adbl.co/4egDpJb

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVX1T4HW


    How a poor farmer boy from a small village became a name you still know

    hundreds of years after his death

    Leonardo da Vinci was searching for a way out of poverty when he started

    designing, tinkering, thinking, and training himself. He still sets the

    example hundreds of years later for how to be a genius.


    How to be the thinker that can excel in any environment.

    Leonardo da Vinci's Mental Models is a book about the various tools da

    Vinci used to help fuel the Italian Renaissance. He had a hand in

    everything, from weapons design, engineering, anatomy and physiology,

    art, and of course painting. Learn about this paragon of the brain and

    how to harness the techniques he used daily.


    This is a book like no other - together, we will analyze the roots of da

    Vinci's upbringing, the genesis of his most well-known mental models,

    and exactly how to apply them in all areas of your life. After all, he

    wasn't just the painter of the Mona Lisa.


    This book is exactly how to become a polymath with insatiable curiosity.

    Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over

    a dozen years. This book represents the scientifically proven methods

    he has used to become an expert in multiple domains.


    Build your intellectual horsepower - yes, it is possible!

    - The value of mentorship and how to ask the right questions of them

    - The reading habit and how to squeeze the most out of any text

    - Curiosity and how to cultivate an elastic and adaptable mindset

    - What a "t-shaped human" is and how breadth is more important than

    depth sometimes

    - The da Vincian method of taking notes and how to create your second

    brain

    - Shower thoughts, to-do lists, and balance - in the Leonardo way


    The polymathic mindset is what will turn you into an intellectual

    superpower. #BotticelliGhirlandaioMichaelangelo #DeepObservation #DesignYourReadingEnvironment #EmbraceInterdisciplinarity #EricWeiner #Florence #FrancescoMelzi #GeorgioVasari #LudovicoSforza #MeoLippi #MesserPieroFruosino #PaulSolman #PeruginoDaVinci #PracticeMode #PrioritizeCompetition #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PeterHollins #TheScienceofSelf #LeonardodaVinci’sMentalModels #BecomeARenaissanceReader #LearnFromLeonardoDaVinci'SMasterclass
