Publisher's summary
Please note: This is a review and analysis of the book, not the original book. This review and analysis is not endorsed by or affiliated with Leonardo Lospennato.
We all know who Leonardo da Vinci is. He was one of those geniuses that could do anything: he was an architect, a sculptor, a painter, amongst other things. He didn't really specialize in one particular field. Back in his day that was not an issue; it was encouraged to have your hand in a little bit of everything. Today, we have become increasingly more specialized, and because of that people who have multiple interests and multiple talents cannot find their way as easily. In his book, The Da Vinci Curse, Leonardo Lospennato gives clues and tips as to how a person with multiple talents can live in an increasingly specialized world. We will review and summarize these points here. Enjoy!

You know what the wealthiest of people of all times have in common? Self-discipline. This blend of two seemingly unimportant terms combined by a hyphen has the power to make or break your life, career, and aspirations. It is that one trait that can help turn tables and bridge the gap between you and your goals. It’s easy to get distracted by the things around us, which leads to deviation from the right path. Even comparatively affluent people leading happy lives are bereft of this magical trait, and this is exactly what is keeping them from rising to the apex.
