This book has changed my life, I understand myself and the world around me more because of this book. I just finished the book and I feel it's important to get the word out to other artist's, you are not alone, this book will help. After reading a lot of art self help books I feel I will never have to read another. This book is the ultimate guide to understanding the creative mind, this book has become my study guide for life. I promise you will never let this one go ever! Very proud owner, Rich Brown, Tampa, Florida

The DaVinci will find this book a mirror of his/her being. Loporto has nailed and reaffirmed my own life experience. I have just read the book and haven't had time to determine how much difference it will make in my life, but I find I already have a different attitude toward myself and my purpose in life.
A very important aspect of The DaVinci Method is that it will be helpful to those who have a relationship with a DaVinci. I doubt that anyone who is not a DaVinci can grasp the totality of what they read here, but it should go a long way toward helping them to understand and give support.
Most all of the ADHD books I own are really about suppressing the DaVinci gene (impossible!) so the individual will better fit into society and relationships--a recipe for further neurotic behavior. This book is about how non-neurotic DaVinci's have changed society for the better. This information has given me the knowledge, motivation and courage to move ahead with my life. I intend to read it again and again. I expect it to become the new ADD'er's "bible."

Reading the DaVinci Method was one of the best things I have ever done to help my brilliant but troubled 20 year old son.
The book has shown me how to help him channel his wild personality to be successful and productive! I didn't think this was possible before now. He dropped out of college and is working as a ski instructor at a local mountain, but I know he would like to do more with his life.
When I started reading this book, I was afraid it might be some sort of fluffy marketing money-maker, but it is chock full of helpful, practical information and easy to read. It was interesting to read that this type of personality is caused by a gene, so he doesn't CHOOSE of his own free will to be such a wild kid, and that he can use his traits to his advantage to do great things.
This book points out that America was built by risk-taking and thrill-seeking explorers, and though they were distractable and impulsive, they were the revolutionaries and innovators who made this nation great.

THIS BOOK EMANATES WISDOM, WEALTH, AND ALL THAT ONE WILL EVER NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR CHARACTER AS A DA VINCI.....I HAVE READ MANY BOOKS BUT THE DA VINCI METHOD IS EXTREMELY EASY TO READ, FOLLOW, AND UNDERSTAND...ACTUALLY IT COMPELS YOU TO COME FORWARD AND GIVES YOU MORE THAN HOPE AS IT GUIDES YOU INTO YOUR OWN GOD GIVEN PURPOSE. ONE CAN'T HELP BUT SEE HOW THEY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO AMERICA'S ECONOMY ONCE AGAIN THROUGH THEIR CREATIVITY/LATERAL THINKING. IT'S DEAL WITH FACTS THAT NEED NO VALIDATION. I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED THE CHAPTERS ON ADD/ADHD AND THE UNIQUE DRD4 GENE INFO. IT IS EXTRAORDINARY AND THE AUTHOR IS A LEGEND THAT HAS RETURNED.

I've been a successful entrepreneur for 30 years. What I like about the DaVinci Method is that it teaches you how to tap in to your instincts and enthusiasm and helps you build your own inner sense of knowing what the best move is. What great entrepreneurs do is invent new & better ways of doing things. They don't just follow rules, a lot of times they have to transcend the rules. The DaVinci Method helps you reawaken that natural gift of knowing how to break the old rules and invent new ways of succeeding.
This book also helps you find the track to keep your enthusiasm alive. You're not going to get to your goal if you're driven solely by mental ambition; you need that enthusiasm that comes from the heart to sustain you through thick and thin. The DaVinci Method will show you how.
Most other entrepreneur and business books give you lists of action steps or formulas to blindly follow, but what they don't do is show you how to build in your own inner sense of knowing, in any given moment, what the best move is. If you can feel your enthusiasm you know you are lined up to hit that ball out of the park.
