An author named Michael Gelb has developed the Seven Da Vincian Principles, [How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci : Seven Steps to Genius Every Day], a guide to life based largely on the ideas in da Vinci’s notebooks. They are:
“Curiosita- An insatiably curious approach to life and an unrelenting quest for continuous learning.
Dimostrazione- A commitment to test knowledge through experience, persistence, and a willingness to learn from mistakes.
Sensazione- The continual refinement of the senses, especially sight, as the means to enliven experience.
Sfumato- A willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty.
Arte/Scienza- The development of the balance between science and art, logic and imagination. “Whole-brain” thinking.
Corporalita- The cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.
Connessione- A recognition of and appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and phenomena. Systems thinking.”
