Think like Leonardo da Vinci!

Since How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci was originally published in 1998 we have learned that your capacity to improve your learning ability and creativity is even greater than we thought at that time.

A paradigm shift in neuroscience has taken place in recent decades: Your brain is not, as was once thought, a compartmentalized, hardwired, static machine whose parts eventually wear out.

Instead, it is highly adaptable and dynamic, capable of regenerating and evolving every day. 


With appropriate training and practice you can raise your I.Q., improve your memory, and sharpen your intelligence. But, your brain didn’t come with a user’s manual. Fortunately, Leonardo provides one for you now!

What Thought Leaders Say:

“Michael Gelb provides a means for opening your mind and enlivening your creativity using examples drawn directly from Leonardo’s achievements. A worthy and fun trip”

- Mario R. Capecchi, Nobel Laureate in Physiology/Medicine

“By capturing the very essence of da Vinci’s life and genius…Michael J. Gelb guides us in a discovery of understanding of the boundlessness of our own human potential.”

- Deepak Chopra, M.D., NY Times Bestselling author and co-founder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing

"Michael Gelb is a contemporary Renaissance Man. His original insights into the genius of DaVinci, Edison and other great minds are a revelation!"

- Grandmaster Raymond Keene, OBE, Chess columnist of the Times of London (Image via Wikipedia)

Ignite Your Genius

Discover New Pathways to a Successful Life

How was Leonardo da Vinci able to master anatomy, architecture, botany, engineering, and geology while creating some of the world’s greatest artistic masterpieces including The Last Supper and The Mona Lisa? What are the secrets of his unparalleled genius?  Michael J. Gelb has studied da Vinci’s approach to genius thinking for decades and derived 7 principles that he has documented in a best selling book and taught in live seminars around the world. Now, da Vinci’s secrets of success will be revealed to you in this transformational online, interactive video course!

Curiosita

Leonardo da Vinci was perhaps the most curious man who ever lived. What was he so curious about? Anything and everything! Curiosity is your birthright and inspires learning and growth through all aspects of life. It's one of the most beneficial natural impulses we all share. Unlocking your insatiable curiosity will increase your mental acuity and joy of living.

Dimostratzione

Through his teachings, da Vinci inspires us all to go beyond our boundaries, try new things and learn from our own first-hand experiences. Leonardo embodied the ability to treat mistakes as learning opportunities, take risks, and persist through any adversity en route to a pathway of discovery and innovation.

Sensazione

We are born with supercharged senses designed to experience the world in a lively and radiant way. As we age our senses are often numbed, making us fall into dull, mindless habits. Revitalizing your senses through these da Vincian techniques will sharpen you personally and professionally while enhancing your appreciation for life’s pleasures.

Sfumato

If you get stressed and discouraged when facing a challenge, it makes it harder to focus and assess the problem. But if you’re able to remain calm and focused, you can assess the situation accordingly, and solutions will soon arise. Embrace fear and uncertainty through these da Vincian techniques and learn to transform them into insight and enthusiasm.

Arte/Scienza

Da Vinci is considered history’s greatest genius because of his unprecedented combination of artistic and scientific abilities. He was a pioneer in expressing the importance of balancing the freedom of imagination with rational thought. You will discover the proper balance of logical analysis and imaginative creation that will supercharge your ability to think innovatively and find dynamic solutions to problems at work, home, and life.

Corporalita

Although geniuses are typically thought of as “nerds” the truth is that most geniuses in history were gifted with almost unparalleled physical energy. The physical benefits of exercise are obvious, but did you know physical activity increases brain power, improves your demeanor, sparks your imagination, and allows you to think with clarity and joy? These da Vinican practices will energize your mental and physical performance, propel your creative flow, and promote lifelong balance, agility, and joy of living.

Connessione

Five centuries ago da Vinci wrote “The earth is moved from its position by the weight of a tiny bird resting upon it.” It was Leonardo’s testament that everything is connected to everything else. Come along on the journey as da Vinci encourages us to connect our highest aspirations with our daily behavior, and consider how even our smallest actions can ripple through our lives and positively affect everything.
