How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci (Abridged): Seven Steps to Genius Every Day Audiobook

" Loved it and will read it again while doing the exercises. "

" This is a pretty basic book with a few good suggestions that can't be found in other books of this type. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as deep or ground shaking as the title implies. "

" I like this book because it gives you a reason to be a "whole" person - by using everyday SIMPLE techniques so that you can maximize your life and yourself. I generally do not stick to one book - because I believe in the sum of all parts. Which is why I have used a few ideas in this book to incorporate with various aspects of my life. I also enjoy using certain methods in teaching children, as a means of discipline and assessment. Pretty neat! "

" This is not just a book, its also a guide. Insightful for those who appreciate creativity, open-mindedness, and a fun way to take,what seems like the ordinary, and make life a more enjoyable, appreciative way to live. "

" really neat way of looking at DaVinci - actually trying to take lessons from what he did and apply it in our lives, no matter what we do. The end lost me a bit though, it seems the book was building up to some greater conclusions about life, art, science, and how to improve our world in complex modern times. Instead he spent the last chapter just talking about mind mapping in way too much detail. It was like taking career planning in high school, not something I need to repeat. But, it can all be taken as a suggestion so no harm done, overall the book is still worth it. "

" It's got some gems in it... good exercises for creative types. The title is a little gimmicky, but it's a good read. Some good biogrpahical information on da Vinci himself that makes a good sprinkling for art classes. "

" Having read it quite a number of years ago, I remember thinking it was OK but not much else. Neither I can't seem to remember too many specifics about it. Obviously it wasn't awful, otherwise I would have remembered that, but neither was it good enough to burn a vivid image into my mind, so two stars is the most I can give it in hindsight. "

" The title itself was so tempting and am glad i picked up d book... d man was a genius in the truest sense... "

" A very fun book. Lots to do and think about! "

" This was my first book that took me down a road of discovery and thought. This book was well thought out and put me in a mindframe of intellectualism. I loved it. "

" Wanna make your brain twist with delight? Crunch with consternation? Generally stretch itself into fabulous contortions? Go ahead. Try this book. "

" This book deserves another read through. It contains so much information that it is impossbile to digest it all in one sitting. I really, truly believe that by adopting some of the techniques from the old genious you can change your life dramatically. Recommended... "

" Reading this for a book group at work. Liked it enough to start working on the exercises. We will see if it makes me way more creative and brilliant. "

" A must-read book on creative frameworks in self development for knowledge workers, managers, executives, and entrepreneurs. "

" I don't think like Divinici so this book wasn't for me. "

" Not much, i was interested in synesthesia which was very shortly mentioned. "

" Fascinating and amazing because every chapter the writer make a suggestion about applying the Da Vinci's life long learning methodology. "

" Found this at the bookstore in Basalt. Looks very interesting! "

" I would like to learn how to think like Leonardo da Vinci, but this book is not the way to do it. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. "

" Really Amazing Book! I love the ideas presented here! I have yet to sit down and actually try some of the ideas, so that is why I can't give it a 5 star. "

" Lots of good ideas you can put into practice. "

" Putting some of these intriguing ideas into practice enriched my life. Love this book. "

" Self help mixed with history, art and science. Some very interesting ideas in there, although the author's Leonardo hero worship gets a bit far fetched at times. "

" (making Italian hand gesture shrug.) "Eh." "

" I love his theories and the exercises the author gives to strengthen your well being. "

" Rather mediocre. It's a promising idea that doesn't seem fully fleshed out. "

" Fantastic and challenging book. Easy to read, but hard to do all the exercizes! "

" Fantastic book filled with lots of interesting tidbits about the artist's life. A great self-help book as well. "

" Ayuda a que encontremos nuestro empuje para lograr lo que deseemos... No hay limites para desarrollar nuestro potencial... "

" Lots of interesting ideas to try, but I got bored with it toward the end. "

" I love anything about Leonardo da Vinci and this is a great "tutorial". "

" I listened to this on audio and while I got some things out of it, I think that book format would be better considering the amount of exercises and lists involved. I'm thinking of buying it. "
