- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thoroughly enjoyed this informative book. Learnt heaps. Thank you for a terrific read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fabulous....Taking the way DaVinci thought and work and compacting the principles into practical guideposts and strategies is in itself a brilliant achievement. Humourous anecdotes and simple tasks show how opening up the mind and thinking much more like a child can be incredibly productive! Don't take my word for it, get at least 3 perspectives on everything, just like Leonardo did! Most fascinating insights on how DaVinci viewed health and fitness; his search for God and why it doesnt matter that so much work was left unfinished!
