Michael J. Gelb’s bestseller “How to think like Leonardo da Vinci” teaches some excises to explore the full capacity of our brain. It includes the seven principles namely curiosita, dimostrazione, sensazione, sfumato, arte/scienza, corporalita and connesione. The main purpose of all these principles does not only develop the intellectual side of a person but the holistic side as well. For example, arte/scienza is the development of the balance of science and art, logic and imagination. Studies show that creative or imaginative people utilize more of the right side of their brain, thus often referred to as right-brainers. Whereas those people relying mostly on their logical and scientific reasoning are referred to as left-brainers. As explained by the author, the balance of the both left and right brain could be developed using “mind-mapping method”. Mind mapping encourages spreading the ideas one-by-one graphically so that scattered thoughts would later be corrected. This method helps one to be a balanced thinker because it draws out not only the person’s creative strengths but the analytical abilities as well. Arte/scienza is thus called the “whole-brain” thinking.
