We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Most of us still live by the motto, “No pain, no gain.” But this approach to life is actually a prescription for fear, frustration, and self-doubt. Much of what we learn about success is based on the pain/gain idea: in essence, work harder, be more persistent, and develop greater willpower. The New Psycho-Cybernetics formula is anything but painful. It will allow you to achieve all your goals, faster, easier, and with less strain than you ever thought possible.

Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

Think of The War of Art as tough love...for yourself. Since 2002, The War of Art has inspired people around the world to defeat "resistance"; to recognize and knock down dream-blocking barriers and to silence the naysayers within us. Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

An accessible, light-hearted exploration into game theory. Haim Shapira describes what it is, why it is important, and how it can help us in our daily lives. This audiobook provides many humorous anecdotes and insightful examples of how our daily lives are affected by game theory. Game theory is the mathematical formalization of interactive decision-making - it assumes that each player's goal is to maximize his/her benefit, whatever it may be.

Leonardo da Vinci stood on a bridge between medieval thought and the modern mind. In this selection of entries from his dozens of coded notebooks and unpublished manuscripts, his unending curiosity in the universe and deep knowledge come through in his energetic style. The self-educated da Vinci developed a philosophical system that set him apart from his contemporaries and marked him as the oracle of a new age, and his vivid imagination and straightforward writing style capture the listener’s attention whether he is writing about his scientific analysis, his opinion of necromancy, discoveries in nature, or the nature of man.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,399
Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Be not afraid.” The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what’s right, to do what’s needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom.

He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, yet few people today are familiar with the wisdom he has to offer us.

Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry.

full of wonderful ideas and exercises
the real value of this book is the authors exercises that come in each chapter. for example finding similaries between 2 items like oriental rugs & psychoanalysis (they both have complex patterns that repeat) the book is filled with these. They are very obvious exercises that lead to a more engage life or single experience. Very fun book. get ready to take notes! :)

I love Leonardo Da Vinci but this was bad
I didn't like this book. I tried and I listened to the whole thing. it's his interpretation of how he wants to have you think.

THIS BOOK IS A AWESOME
I REALLY ENJOYED THE WAY HIS CREATIVE PROCESS IS IS SIMILAR LIKE MINE. INTERESTED IN ADDING SOME MORE OF HIS FORM AND STRATEGY TO MY ROUTINE THINKING. I LEARNED WHY HE THINKS CREATIVITY IS THE WAY TO LIVE AND THATS WHAT IM INTERESTED IN . HE ALSO SHOWS YOU HOW TO THINK WHILE YOU EAT.

Inspiring and great book
Very inspiring and a lot of hidden knowledge in this book. I read for the first time 10 years ago and re-read it know. I realized that I applied many of the techniques and tried to follow parts of the teachings in the book. Other parts I still need to embrace. It’s from about that year I read it my life radically changed to the better. I recommend this book as probably the most influential book I ever read.

Kinda 3 books in one
Kinda 3 books in one. The first part is about Leonardo and his processes. The second part is more of a self help book based on Leonardo principles. Lastly it is a push to learn to draw and focus on art skills.

wasn't quite what I expected
It amounted to drawing mind maps with extensive mentions and descriptions of art utensils and how drawing helps one see. a bunch of how to live well stuff.
