where it is but the the point is he's in the news we're talking about him and here's the real answer to your question here's what i really wish people knew because he'll endlessly fascinate us with his art with his science with his invention but what i want people to know is that he left instructions in his notebooks on how you can think more like him, on how you can use your potential.

And that simple sort of naive childlike question I asked many, many years ago was, what's he trying to teach us? And he's really trying to teach us how we can think more creatively, how we can use all of our power and potentiality. So that's what I really want people to know.

More lost than kept. More lost, 20,000. At best scholarly estimate, about 20,000 written. People seem to choose the numbers between 6,000 and 7,000 pages, yeah.

Well, I read it all way back when I was doing the research in this. I really focused in on this from 1994 to when the book came out in 1998. And I was absolutely immersed. I literally, I went to the place he was born. I went to the place he died. I walked in his footsteps. I went to every museum I could. I studied the live notebooks as well as reading the Richter translations of the notebooks.

I interviewed the Leonardo scholars. I contemplated his paintings. I started dreaming about him. And it was from those dreams that the Da Vinci Principles began.

Well, there's a lot of speculation about that. I would say it probably differed when he was in different places, but we know he advocates the importance of working with great intensity and then taking a break.

So wherever he was, whatever he was doing, whether he was in his studio or interacting with patrons, we know that one of the things he teaches us and advocates, which has been borne out by contemporary research into optimizing the psychology of memory and high performance and so on and so forth, is oscillation. Work with great intensity. Actually, there's a great story.

When he was working on the Last Supper, he would be up there on the wall of the refractory of the Church of Santa Maria della Grazia, working for hours and hours at a time with total intensity. But then he would just disappear, sometimes for a few days. Well, the prior of the church of Santa Maria della Grazia would get very upset. He'd say, where's this Leonardo guy?
