This is part 6 of the 7-part discussion of Michael J. Gelb's amazing book How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: 7 Steps to Genius Every Day. In this session, we discuss Leonardo Da Vinci's principle of corporalita - the cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise. As artists, we must optimize our health and fitness in order to have long, productive careers. Leonardo da Vinci was ahead of his time in promoting holistic wellness. We can learn from his balanced approach, and use it to develop our own protocols. As always, I go through an assessment to help you determine your level of corporalita. At the end, I discuss the various diets I have experimented with. I discuss the major pros and cons of each so that you can learn from my mistakes and develop a plan that works best for you. @RavensFineArt.RavenKushner www.RavensFineArt.com

Are you an artist, writer, performer, or other creative? Join me as I explore Michael J. Gelb's fascinating book How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. This book is a deep dive into the genius of Leonardo da Vinci as applicable to today's creative free thinker. How comfortable are you with paradox, ambiguity, nuance, and uncertainty? This aspect of genius is important for the artist to develop and maintain. Can you see Light in the midst of Darkness? Can you see beauty in what people call "ugly?" Can you find peace in the midst of uncertainty? Let's learn from Leonardo da Vinci as we explore Sfumato - literally "going up in smoke," or, more practically, a willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty. https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-Like-Leonardo-Vinci/dp/0440508274/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24R3C6EY0Q48I&keywords=how+to+think+like+leonardo+da+vinci&qid=1637296989&qsid=144-8441627-5942401&sprefix=how+to+think+like+Leon%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-1&sres=0440508274%2C0440508827%2C0007169655%2CB00UBDSMBA%2CB01N2GFNQM%2CB00SCUXWTQ%2CB071S8BNDP%2CB08QBB3MTG%2C1413326951%2C1413328202%2CB07YLCK37V%2C1647399416%2C0974934429%2CB07F9YYR62%2C2511046962%2C1789291585&srpt=ABIS_BOOK (Get the Book) (This is not an affiliate, I just want to share) www.RavensFineArtProducts.com @RavensFineArt.RavenKushner www.RavensFineArt.com

This video explores the third of Leonardo da Vinci's seven Da Vincian principles of genius, according to Michael J. Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. Sensazione is Italian for the senses. In this episode, I talk about the five senses, why they are so important for artists and creatives, and why they are in danger of going extinct in today's modern society. I finish up with fun exercises to expand the senses - plus a special bonus tip for parents. With Leonardo as our guide, I believe we can all level up our genius quotient!

In Part 2 of the series, we will be discussing the second element of the seven principles of genius as gleaned from Michael J. Gelb's book How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. This second principle is called Dimostrazione, putting theoretical knowledge into practice. As artists, we may learn many different techniques, philosophies, principles, rumors, and myths. It is up to us, as artist pioneers, to test all theories, and discover what works best for us. Join the discussion and uncover your own genius. @RavensFineArt.RavenKushner (Instagram; art works in progress) www.RavensFineArt.com (original art) www.RavensFineArtPrints.com (t-shirts and prints)

Michael was so energetic as a kid that he got kicked out of nursery school. He has a core of curiosity that lead him to create his own business geared toward serving people in ways that are aligned with things that he liked to do. The core aspect of Michael’s success and fulfillment thus far is due to the connections and relationships he’s developed over the course of his career. Communication skills are not getting better, they are actually getting worse. Technology is great for some things but it’s eroding the way we connect with each other as humans. What is your definition of connection? We are networked, but not connected. We have access to information, but not to empathy. Sometimes an information onslaught makes it harder to connect to ourselves, let alone each other. Technology is addictive. It’s taking your mind away, instead of your organs in the way cigarettes do. Have a digital sunset each day, and take a day off entirely every once in awhile. What are the seven different skillsets that have been broken by technology? The one factor that is the greatest predictor of health, wealth, and longevity is connection. Emotions are contagious, be careful what you catch and you spread. Narcissism ends up being very expensive in business, the new model is making the world a better place and making people happy consistently. Treat people with respect, and you will engage and motivate the people you work with and work for. How do introverts create new relationships? Whatever your personality type is, it’s important to do the opposite of whatever your natural inclination is. Growth comes from getting out of your comfort zone. Looking at the world from a different perspective is a core skill of leadership. What does that kind of discipline look like in practice? If you’re introverted, go up to five people you don’t know in a room and introduce yourself. What starts out as anxiety turns into exhilaration when you realize you are doing something you’ve never done before. Becoming a successful and wiser human being includes pushing your boundaries, especially with something that has a business application. Reference: How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day, Michael Gelb Michael’s Takeaway Write down your life purpose. Write down the major areas of your life and map it out, then write down the most important goal in each area of your mind map. Put your goals into the context of what drives you, when you have a higher purpose you liberate way more energy to make it happen.     Links: michaelgelb.com Thank you for listening!
