Synopsis
In the bestselling tradition of The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal, The Simple Abundance Journal of Gratitude and The Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Workbook comes The How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci Workbook--the companion volume to Michael Gelb's 1998 Delacorte hardcover bestseller. Created to structure and motivate the reader's development of the seven da Vincian principles introduced in How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, The How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci Workbook represents the natural extension of Gelb's da Vinci line. As any modern da Vinci student knows, Leonardo's notebook both served as the incubator and repository of his unique genius and provides the foundation of any modern-day student's attempt to emulate that genius on his own. From the very first exercise in the original How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Gelb encourages readers to keep their own personal notebooks in which to hone their da Vincian skills; now he provides that notebook for them, with the added bonus of tips on exercises they'll recognize and new suggestions and assignments that will build on the work they've already done.

Designed to echo the inviting look of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, and structured to help readers focus on each of the seven genius principles, The How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci Workbook is a companion volume that truly complements and enhances the reader's experience of the original book on which it's based.

Customer Reviews

Inspiring
Gelb's book validates a long time understanding, that everyone is able to attain a level of intelligence and understanding. I found the book helpful in understanding myself as a person and the type of person I want to be. Deep down I have held these passions and skills and did not allow them to surface or show. This book eradicated my own fear factor and that charting your own life course is your own responsibility. I've kept a journal for over 20 years and wondered if deep down I was rather stupid for keeping one. I wondered how to direct my energies and felt that before was not utilizing the aspect of journaling to its fullest extent. Gelb's book gave me that direction and validated my own ability.

I've loaned my own book or bought it for friends and students and have suggested it as a reference in classes. Several have come back to me and thanked me for enlightening them. Read it and see what happens.
