Based on countless pages ofLeonardo da Vinci's notebooks as well as discoveries about his life and work,Walter Isaacson creates a chronological account connecting Leonardo's art andscience to the inner workings of his mind. He narrates Leonardo's genius whichhad blurred the lines between talent and constant self-improvements like hisrelentless curiosity, careful observation, and limitless imagination.

Leonardo created the two mostfamous paintings, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa; but the book allows a peekinto his own mind showing that he was also a man in pursuit of knowledge. Withinterests that sometimes become obsessive, he pursued an understanding ofanatomy, hydraulics, flight, optics, geology, and weapon design. His weavingthrough different disciplines had drawn him to the creation of the Vitruvianman which had made him history's greatest creative genius.

His creativity stemmed from aninterest in various disciplines which had led him to extensively drawingaccurate representations of the human body to the painting of history's mostenigmatic smile. He explored optics, upon light reflecting the eyes which hadprovided the changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson accountsLeonardo's love for pageantry which had informed his paintings and inventions.

Leonardo's love for creatingbridges between various disciplines had become the greatest recipe forcreativity. This included his life being a misfit: illegitimate, gay,vegetarian, left-handed, restless, and sometimes heretical. His life reminds usof the importance of questioning what we know now and letting our imagination,like talented misfits, create different outcomes.
