This week, Jonesy and Ashto learn to define creativity from Walter Isaacson’s Leonardo da Vinci. In this critically acclaimed biography, Isaacson writes a narrative that connects Leonardo’s brilliant artistry to his passion for science. He illustrates how Leonardo developed his expertise based on skills we can improve in ourselves, including passionate curiosity, careful observation, and a playful imagination. Just like many other great innovators, Leonardo’s creativity was born from having wide-ranging passions, the ease of being a misfit, and a willingness to inquire about existing knowledge to acquire new knowledge.
