How to think like Leonardo Da Vinci

Book • 1998
This book, written by Michael J. Gelb, draws on Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, inventions, and works of art to introduce the Seven Da Vincian Principles.

These principles include curiosità (an insatiably curious approach to life), dimostrazione (the commitment to test knowledge through experience), sensazione (the refinement of the senses), sfumato (the ability to see things in a subtle, nuanced way), arte/scienza (the development of the balance between art and science), corporalità (the cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise), and connessione (the appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things).

The book provides step-by-step exercises and lessons to help readers harness their own genius, mastering skills such as problem solving, creative thinking, self-expression, and harmonizing body and mind.
