Think Like Da Vinci

De: Michael Gelb

Narrado por: Ben Neumayer

Was Renaissance genius Leonardo Da Vinci’s brain different from yours? Yes ... and no. Like you, Da Vinci had a wide array of interests and constantly found connections between them, even when they seemed obscure.

You may already be a problem solver at work, and perhaps admire Da Vinci as a "polymath" and "Renaissance Man". But you may never have thought you could be like him.

Da Vinci was ahead of his time. His notebooks, hundreds of years after his death, influenced modern flight, optometry, and photography. How could you follow in his footsteps?

While not everyone can display Da Vinci’s genius, there are principles that supported his creativity that anyone can apply in daily life.

One such principle is systems thinking, a modern concept that echoes Da Vinci’s approach. Barry Richmond defined it as "the art and science of making reliable inferences about behavior by developing an increasingly deep understanding of underlying structure." Da Vinci’s thinking encourages solutions that emerge from understanding that problems arise from complex factors.

You might wonder how this applies to your life. Da Vinci lived 500 years ago, and his work spanned numerous fields. How does this relate to your 21st-century problem, like achieving work-life balance?

Imagine the demands of your job leave you too tired to nurture meaningful relationships or enjoy hobbies. What do you do?

This book shows how to use systems thinking and Da Vinci’s techniques to address challenges like these. You’ll learn:

• Why understanding Da Vinci’s intelligence unlocks your intellectual and creative potential
