Nov 04, 2024
Ken Burns PBS special on Leonardo da Vinci ( Nov 18) is bringing lots of attention to the quintessential "Renaissance Man.” Burns’ approach to historical figures often reveals the human aspects behind the legends. Leonardo was a remarkably complex character who has fascinated scholars and captured people’s imagination globally. Why? Because he inspires us, more than any other historical figure, toward the fulfillment of our human potential and creative power.
In 1998 Random House published How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci by Michael J. Gelb a global bestseller that has been translated into 25 languges. How to Think Like Leonardo provides deep insights into the Maestro’s methodolgy and shows how you can apply it to your life now.
British Poet-Laureate Ted Hughes enthused that the principles offer “A brilliant practical guide to thinking like a genius.” and Deepak Chopra proclaimed: "By capturing the very essence of DaVinci’s life and genius-the seemingly perfect integration of mind, body, spirit and soul- Michael Gelb guides us in the discovery of the boundlessness of our own human potential.”
