How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day, 1998

The author believes that genius is made, not born.  And humans are gifted with an almost unlimited potential for learning and creativity.  Drawing on renowned artist Leonardo 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.
