Product Description
In the bestselling tradition of The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal, The Simple Abundance Journal of Gratitude and The Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Workbook comes The How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci Workbook--the companion volume to Michael Gelb's 1998 Delacorte hardcover bestseller.
Created to structure and motivate the reader's development of the seven da Vincian principles introduced in How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, The How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci Workbook represents the natural extension of Gelb's da Vinci line. As any modern da Vinci student knows, Leonardo's notebook both served as the incubator and repository of his unique genius and provides the foundation of any modern-day student's attempt to emulate that genius on his own. From the very first exercise in the original How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Gelb encourages readers to keep their own personal notebooks in which to hone their da Vincian skills; now he provides that notebook for them, with the added bonus of tips on exercises they'll recognize and new suggestions and assignments that will build on the work they've already done.
Designed to echo the inviting look of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, and structured to help readers focus on each of the seven genius principles, The How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci Workbook is a companion volume that truly complements and enhances the reader's experience of the original book on which it's based.

Format:Hardcover
Gelb's book validates a long time understanding, that everyone is able to attain a level of intelligence and understanding. I found the book helpful in understanding myself as a person and the type of person I want to be. Deep down I have held these passions and skills and did not allow them to surface or show. This book eradicated my own fear factor and that charting your own life course is your own responsibility. I've kept a journal for over 20 years and wondered if deep down I was rather stupid for keeping one. I wondered how to direct my energies and felt that before was not utilizing the aspect of journaling to its fullest extent. Gelb's book gave me that direction and validated my own ability.
I've loaned my own book or bought it for friends and students and have suggested it as a reference in classes. Several have come back to me and thanked me for enlightening them. Read it and see what happens.

This book is full of valuable lessons that are inspired by Da Vinci and the way he lived his life and composed himself. It shows that some of the things you already do are not as crazy as you may perceive, and gives many other techniques you can employ to develop your appreciation of the world around you, your own talents and the relationships you have. This is a well written guidebook to unlock your own inner potential.

Not up to par with its predecessor
26 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book because I loved Gelb's book by the same title (not the workbook). I was mildly dissapointed. My advice, skip the workbook and read How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci again!

Refining senses in a cluttered, rushed world.
20 Nov 2002
Format:Hardcover
Part of this book is for journaling and we've all heard how helpful journaling can be in different areas of our lives. That, however is not what I consider the value of this book.
Flip it over and you have the workbook part of the book. In this section the reader is made to sit down and think. Unlike journaling, where your mind takes you where it wants to go, the workbook gives us assignments.
For instance: Learning from Mistakes and Adversity (who doesn't want to do this?). This section encourages us to explore our attitudes toward mistakes by contemplating questions given. Following the instructions are two pages of questions that the reader must answer. In a word - it makes us think.
The work book also encourages readers to refine our senses. How often do we even consider doing this during the day when we have responsibilities piled upon us, clocks ticking the seconds away, and all the world'sgeneral confusion spinning around us? Not often!
I found this book enlightening, encouraging and helpful.

Faced Paced World
29 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
The world is moving at a fast pace and I find that people are just thinking and not thinking about what they are thinking. This book gives you a chance to return to basic principles of continuous learning and self improvement. It makes you ask the questions - How do I lead? Who is my mentor. Where am I going? What will I leave behind? Am I making a difference or just going through the motions. At some point in everybody's life (just about) these questions pop up. This book presents the information in a creative, easy, and fun way. You also have a chance to learn more about Leonardo da Vinvi (a plus in it's self).
