Discover Your Genius audiobook

I listened to this as an audiobook and I enjoyed learning about the great minds and leadership skills of Plato, Brunelleschi, Columbus, Copernicus, Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, Jefferson, Darwin, Gandhi and Einstein. I actually felt like I would retain more of the information and gain a better grasp of the end of the chapter exercise questions if I read a print copy. I checked the physical book out from my library so I can browse through it again and take reflection notes in my book journal.

This was a follow up read to Gelb's book on DaVinci.I like it as well. However, it did not knock my socks off like the DaVinci book.For the most part, I recommend it, but not as much as the first book.

So this is my assessment of this book Discover Your Genius by Michael J.Gelb according to my 6 criteria:1. Related to practice - 4 stars2. It prevails important - 3 stars3. I agree with the read - 4 stars4. not difficult to read (as for non English native) - 4 stars5. too long and boring story or every sentence is interesting - 4 stars6. Learning opportunity - 4 starsTotal 3.83 stars

Stream of consciousness writing yields lots of nonsense and redundancy, but can lead to profound insight and understanding.

Really loved this book and his other one about how to think like Da Vinci. The look of the book and the way everything is organized is elegant and super pleasing.

Excellent book, especially the chapter on Gandhi.

Excelente reseña en general de 9 personajes históricos que con sus ideas y con sus trabajo aportaron al crecimiento de la sociedad. El autor da unos consejos de las personalidades para poner en práctica en nuestra vida, como Brunelleschi con su modo de analizar las perspectivas se hizo la bella cúpula de la iglesia de Florencia. Gandhi y su historia del niño al que le enseñó con el ejemplo, su coherencia, primero hacerlo y luego aconsejar. Leído, releído, entendido y recomendado.

I thought that it was good. I felt like he needed to include more female and people of color as his genius models, but he does a good job with the choices he does make. Also, I did not like that Christopher Columbus was on his list. That's like glorifying Hitler for his public speaking skills.Anyway, those things aside, it was a challenging and fun read.

I liked the book overall It did have 3 good exercises I liked. Some of the people aren't geniuses as we would ordinarily think of them but most of the biographies were pretty good.

A should-read book on creative frameworks in self development for knowledge workers, managers, executives, and entrepreneurs.

I found myself with the covers of this work....watch out world!

Will have this book with me all the time..Great creative blend of information on history's most revolutionary minds..

A lot of good reading and ideas.
