The Unknown Genius Creative Abilities of Leonardo Da Vinci 
Documenting Leonardo Da Vinci’s Superior Cognitive Functioning

This publication was written in the belief that Leonardo’s study of his natural surroundings, his advanced perceptual skills and his continued interest in learning, all played a significant role in developing his creativity.
He challenged established mindsets with the conviction that all earthly things are connected. He spent years observing nature’s secrets , documenting his observations and the creative thinking that resulted. While much has been written about Leonardo’s incredible scientific discoveries, his futuristic inventions and his great works of art, we fail to realize that Leonardo da Vinci developed incredible creative thinking that needs to be understood and applied in this new creative paradigm where creative ideas are the currency of the future.
