Summary of Michael J. Gelb's How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The concept of intelligence is based on the traditional IQ test, which was invented by Alfred Binet to measure, objectively, comprehension, reasoning, and judgment. However, contemporary research shows that intelligence is not fixed at birth and can be developed throughout life.

#2 The brain is much more flexible and multidimensional than any supercomputer. It can learn seven facts per second, every second, for the rest of your life and still have room left to learn more.

#3 The Book of Genius by Tony Buzan and Raymond Keene ranks the greatest geniuses of history, and Leonardo da Vinci is ranked number two. Nature has provided us with more help than we might have thought.

#4 The Seven Da Vincian Principles are: curiosity, a commitment to test knowledge through experience, persistence, and a willingness to learn from mistakes, the continual refinement of the senses, ambiguity, and the interconnectedness of all things.
