"His lack of reverence for authority and his willingness to challenge received wisdom would lead him to craft an empirical approach for understanding nature that foreshadowed the scientific method developed more than a century later by Bacon and Galileo." - Walter Isaacson

The author of the bestsellers Steve Jobs, Einstein and Benjamin Franklin returns with a captivating biography of Leonardo da Vinci, who is considered to be one of the most diversely talented individuals to have ever lived.

As Walter Isaacson describes it, Leonardo's genius was of the type we can understand and take lessons from. It was based on skills we can aspire to improve in ourselves. Discover which skills helped Leonardo da Vinci achieve greatness and maybe you will be able to achieve greater things yourself.

P.S. Leonardo da Vinci will help you understand one of the greatest minds mankind has ever seen.
