Title: This offering is pabulum at best.
Product review: While some of the biographical background and quotations are interesting, the main body of this book offers some absolutely silly suggestions for emulating the thought process of Leonardo. If he were to read this I'm sure that he and his compatriots would have a good laugh. When I reached the "exercises" I was reminded of some of the infomercials that dominate late night TV. I would not be at all surprised to see Gelb hawking his audio tapes soon. A waste of time. Anyone sincerely interested in learning about Leonardo would do well to look elsewhere.
