How did his mind work? What made him a genius?

His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.

Benjamin Franklin:

History's consummate innovator and most creative thinker. Isaacson illustrates how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.
