Product Description
Chopra and Gelb conclude that we all have access to the intuitive, creative, and visionary responses that da Vinci did, but there is no doubt, as Chopra says, that Leonardo was "an accelerated expression of the natural evolution of consciousness.

Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Gelb, the author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day, is an expert on how the creative giant achieved so much in so many realms. He gives a charming and spontaneous talk, interacting energetically with the audience and his host, and joyfully describing principles that sound extremely relevant in this telling. As the program's host, Chopra adds his own genius to the learning experience by placing Gelb's ideas in the broad spiritual context that he's been articulating in his books and audios for years. This is an entertaining audio with fabulous ideas that the two authors really bring to life--and an essential title in every creative person's audio library.

Customer Reviews
Not what I expected
Michael covers the same seven steps to genius every day he details more completely in his book: "How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci." In most cases even the same language is used. This is followed by Dr. Chopra's comments on how Leonardo's thoughts are mirrored in the philosophy of advaita vedAnta. During the following discussion and audience Q&A the audio quality is poor.
If you want a hint at what the insights of Leonardo are, this book may do. If you want vivid picture consider Michael's other book/audio.
disappointing
This is not a book, but a talk...and a weak one at that. The audio quality is substandard, the 7 principles seem forced, and Gelb's responses to the wise observations of Deepak Chopra sound trite. Skip this.
I'm recommending this to all my clients.
I'm a media consultant, and recently heard Michael Gelb speak at an industry convention. MIGHTY inspiring. I won't even try to spell the seven Italian words he had an audience of 2000+ pronouncing in unison, but he made a convincing case that applying these seven traits to your work can make you the next Leonardo.
