How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci?


Today, I will introduce you to a book that has become one of my dearest friends. The book is "How to think like Leonardo Da Vinci?" by Michael Gelb.
This book takes you through an interesting journey with Da Vinchi. It teaches you 7 main Da Vinchian principles that where practiced by Leonardo and that - if used - would affect your life style positively.
Starting with Curiosita, where you will learn how to be curiose about every thing around you and how to develop continuous learning habits. this last step won't be done unless you practice Demostrazione & sensazione where you will use all of your senses to experience the whole universe and to reduce the amount of uncertainty.
Also, it teaches you the principle of whole brain thinking. when it matches between art and science and finds connections between different phenomena in this life.
of course, it won't ignore well being and fitness. The book gives you an idea about Da Vinchi's diet.
When you read this book , you'll have a free journey through renaissance time.
Dear LIS Cafe~ members, Join us in our reading trip and once you find an interesting book share your ideas about it with us.
