Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson is another one of the great biographies that he has done. Although I wasn’t interested in reading the one about Steve Jobs, I have read his other work about The Innovators.

Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson is another one of the great biographies that he has done. Although I wasn’t interested in reading the one about Steve Jobs, I have read his other work about The Innovators.

The book is interesting in that it covers all aspects of Leonardo. Not just his accomplishments, but also with a focus on the things he didn’t complete. All in all, it’s a very inspiring read.

A Goodreads synopsis describes Isaacson's use of Leonardo's notebooks and his curiosity across art and science. Bill Gates also wrote about the book, highlighting that curiosity.
