Cultivate your spiritual potential using wisdom from renowned artist and engineer Leonardo da Vinci, from the nationally bestselling author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci
Wonder. Appreciation. Awareness. Wholeness.
In the Western world of the fifteenth century, these personal qualities were all boldly embodied in one extraordinary man. From art to botany, anatomy to mechanics, Leonardo da Vinci was a profoundly original thinker fully in tune with the world of man and nature, and with the divine spirit that bridges the two.
In this bold guide to awakening the soul, Michael Gelb draws on Leonardo’s writings, inventions, and works of art to show how you, too, can practice the seven essential principles by which Leonardo lived and worked, including:
• Curiosità: Seek the Truth

• Sensazione: Sharpen Awareness
• Sfumato: Engage the Shadow
• Arte/Scienza: Cultivate Balance
• Corporalità: Nurture Integration
• Connessione: Practice Love
Filled with practical exercises that will help you put each of the seven principles into use, a series of reflective questions designed for self-assessment, and inspirational sayings drawn from the world’s great wisdom traditions, Da Vinci Decoded offers a wide range of tools to use in your spiritual quest. Now you can let Leonardo and Michael Gelb be your personal guides to creating your own personal spiritual renaissance today.
