Book Review - Discover Your Genius : How to Think Like History's Ten Most Revolutionary Minds by Michael J. Gelb

Read some REAL biographies instead...
I didn't find this book the least bit inspiring. If you've ever read individual biographies of a few of the people the author covers in the book (namely Brunelleschi, Columbus, Copernicus, Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, Jefferson, Darwin, and Ghandi), then you probably won't find anything new or particularly inspiring about the book either. If on the other hand you don't even know who the above people are, then this book is for you!
However, I found this to be an excellent example of how to package your high school research papers into a commercial book. Seriously, for someone who is supposed to be an engaging and uplifting speaker, the author didn't deliver.
