The Intellectual Toolkit of Geniuses: 40 Principles that Will Make You Smarter and Teach You to Think Like a Genius

What do Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein have in common?

It seems like a trick question, right? They were geniuses, of course! Not only were they geniuses, but they all followed principles that helped them along their way to their big discoveries. I have studied the lives of geniuses in history, and also in my own life to come up with the common principles that geniuses use time and again. There are rules and patterns to the kinds of things geniuses think about and focus on. That is what this book is all about.

Here are some principles you will learn about inside:

- Learn from multiple formats or methods (#2)

- Engage in experiments with the world around you (#11)

- Know the difference between mistakes and failure (#18)

- We all hold false ways of viewing the world (#27)

- Pay attention to patterns and anomalies (#37)
