How To Think Like History’s Greatest Genius - Michael Gelb

I accidentally admired Leonardo as a Young Man and this way of thinking has shaped everything about my existence. Curiosity is the best form of power far above the dirty form of energy known as willpower. And there's no age at which these principles cannot turn one's life around!

“He had to do what he had to do in order to continue to do what he really wanted to do…” that got me

I often get depressed when I think about people like da Vinci. A true genius who had a momentous impact on the world, someone who shows us the potential for human beings to be truly exceptional. Then I think about myself and how much I suck and question what value there is in my existence. God help me.

this is one of those golden nuggets of an entire show

I just found Chris's podcast, and i really enjoy it. His intelligence and excellant guest top of the line.

Funny that you're talking about Leonardo now. I just started playing Assassins Creed 2 again

As someone who goes to Italy almost once a year & has so much love & respect for Leonardo. This episode was lovely. Really enjoyed how these teachings from a legend can stand to this day, as life well lived on another level. If you so desire. It's all what you make of it. Great guest Chris. 🤝🏻🖤
