Leonardo da Vinci is the supreme embodiment of human potential, according to Michael J. Gelb. On The Spirit of Leonardo, he takes listeners on a journey through the consciousness of perhaps the greatest genius who ever lived. The best-selling author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci (Delacorte Press, 1998) focuses on how to apply the 7 DaVinci Principles to the spiritual life:
- Curiosita: Seek the Truth
- Dimostrazione: Take Responsibility
- Sensazione: Sharpen Awareness
- Sfumato: Engage the Shadow
- Arte/Scienza: Cultivate Balance
- Corporalita: Nurture Integration
- Connessione: Practice Love
With The Spirit of Leonardo, Michael J. Gelb offers listeners practical strategies for embodying each of these principles into their lives to gain a deeper clarity and sense of creative responsibility, open the door to inner perception, and liberate the unconscious, "disowned" aspects of the self to realize their highest ideals.
