Everyone has the potential for genius, according to Michael J. Gelb. He's dedicated his life to helping others develop that potential with best selling audio programmes like Mind Mapping and Putting Your Creative Genius to Work, and his best selling How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci book and workbook.

The full expression of our unique genius doesn't come without effort, however, and in Discover Your Genius, Gelb draws upon a well-spring of imagination from the minds of ten of history's greatest geniuses to show readers how to unleash their own creativity through mental play. Searching for the most world-shaking ideas, discoveries and innovations, Gelb assembled a "genius dream team" made up of: Plato, Filippo Brunelleschi, Christopher Columbus, Nicholas Copernicus, Queen Elizabeth I, William Shakespeare, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Mahatma Gandhi, and Albert Einstein. Each member embodies a special "Genius" characteristic, ranging from a love of wisdom to emotional intelligence to the ability to wield power with balance and effectiveness, that the reader is invited to integrate into daily life.

Dedicating a section for each genius, Gelb presents:

• A brief biography illustrating the key principle at work in each genius's life.
• A self-assessment test to gauge how each principle is working in the reader's life.
• A series of practical and vibrant exercises to develop each principle fully.

A passionate student of the nature of genius, Michael J. Gelb brings a vibrant personality and authoritative message certain to make Discover Your Genius a phenomenal seller.
