“How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci – Seven Steps to Genius Every Day” by Michael J. Gelb
$ 1.50
“By capturing the very essence and Da Vinci’s life and genius—the seemingly perfect integration of mind, body, spirit, and soul—Michael Gelb guides us in a discovery and understanding of the boundlessness of our own full human potential.”—DEEPAK CHOPRA
Michael J. Gelb’s How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci (published in 1998) aims to distill the Renaissance master’s approach to learning and creativity into seven core principles. Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) stands out in history for his painting (Mona Lisa, The Last Supper), scientific inquiries, mechanical inventions, and anatomical studies. Gelb argues that while Leonardo was undoubtedly a rare genius, his habits—persistent questioning, methodical experimentation, immersion in the senses, tolerance of uncertainty, and a blend of art with science—can be adopted in daily life.

Michael J. Gelb’s How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci (published in 1998) aims to distill the Renaissance master’s approach to learning and creativity into seven core principles. Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) stands out in history for his painting (Mona Lisa, The Last Supper), scientific inquiries, mechanical inventions, and anatomical studies. Gelb argues that while Leonardo was undoubtedly a rare genius, his habits—persistent questioning, methodical experimentation, immersion in the senses, tolerance of uncertainty, and a blend of art with science—can be adopted in daily life.
This summary examines each principle, discussing how it relates to Leonardo’s life and how Gelb proposes incorporating it. Ultimately, Gelb’s thesis is that we can awaken a more imaginative and holistic intelligence by replicating Leonardo’s wide-ranging curiosity and reverence for both art and science. Even small efforts—like jotting questions daily or practicing mindful walking—help us reawaken a “Renaissance spirit” that merges intellectual discovery with hands-on learning.
