and creative energy exchanges
In the book, How To Think Like Leonardo da Vinci by Michael J. Gelb
In my post from 2012, DaVincian Principles, I shared that Geib’s book is (on the surface, anyway) about problem-solving, creative thinking, self-expression, enjoying the world around you, goal setting, life balance, and harmonizing body and mind.
Digging deeper, Geib’s book discusses seven principles, which he calls DaVincian Principles:
- Curiosita – Am I asking the right questions?
- Dimostrazione – How can I improve my ability to learn from my mistakes and experiences?
- Sensazione – What is my plan for sharpening my senses as I age?
- Sfumato – How can I strengthen my ability to hold creative tension to embrace the significant paradoxes of life?
- Arte/Scienza – Am I balancing Arte and Scienza at home and at work?
- Corporalita – How can I nurture the balance of body and mind?
- Connessione – How do all the above elements fit together? How does everything connect to everything else?
