Seven Steps to Genius Every Day

As the book’s blurb says, “Consider it as a self-help book that Leonardo Da Vinci never wrote—a revolutionary approach to learning and creativity that teaches that you don’t have to think that you are a genius to be able to think like one.”

This wonderful book is from the author of the bestsellers like ‘Lessons from the Art of Juggling’ and ‘Thinking for a change’. In this well thought out and nicely written book, the author tells that we, normal human beings use only a fraction of our mental capabilities. He then goes on to show how to successfully harness the full potential of the most powerful part of our body—the brain. He teaches how each and every one of us can become more creative, productive and efficient by using the principles used by one of the greatest creative forces of all times—Leonardo Da Vinci.

Based on his research on the life, lifestyle and works of Da Vinci, the author gives us the seven essential elements of Da Vincian genius. He then shows how the techniques that worked for the master can work for each of us.

The book contains a lot of exercises, self-assessment questions, quotes from the writings of Da Vinci and a lot pictures which makes it very interesting to read. The design and layout of the book is excellent and the pages are well laid out so that one gets a feeling of flowing from one page to another.

A good read for all who want to open the tremendous potential of the mind and harness the brainpower.
