This inspiring and inventive guide shows you how to develop your full potential by following the example of one of history’s greatest geniuses, 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, draws on Da Vinci’s notebooks, inventions, and legendary works of art to introduce the Seven Da Vincian Principles—the essential elements of genius. From curiosità, the insatiably curious approach to life, to connessione, the appreciation of the interconnectedness of all things, Gelb reveals an exhilarating new way of thinking.
Through step-by-step exercises and provocative lessons, you will learn how to harness the power—and wonder—of your own genius.
You will master life-changing abilities such as:
- Problem solving
- Creative thinking
- Self-expression
- Enjoying the world around you
- Goal setting and life balance
- Harmonizing body and mind
With Leonardo da Vinci as your inspiration, this practical guide empowers you to think differently, live creatively, and unlock your highest potential.
