I read a large number of self-help and self-discovery books. Michael Gelb presents and interesting view on spiritual discovery. Will I do every item he talks about - probably not but I'm usually satisfied with these type of books if I pick up one or two good ideas. In my opinion it's not as good as his earlier book "how to think like Leonardo Da Vinci" but there's enough good points and ideas to make it worthwhile.
The author is very fascinated by Leonardo Da Vinci and it can be overwhelming at points but I guess it's a good thing that he is passionate about. A lot of spiritual tips and how you can discover this through various exercises and reflections on Leonardo's life itself. It's part biography, part spirituality and sprinkled with quotes from religious texts and philosophers throughout. I liked it.
This is insightful, if a little boring. Rather watch the accompaining TV series on Discovery. Easier to follow.
Not as good as "How to Think Like. . ." but still good. Now to go back to work on the exercises. . .
