No Less than Genius brings together in a unique way, eight mindful instructional practices that research has shown work to engage, motivate, and accelerate success for every youth. The strategies include the following: Understanding true identity Discovering one’s pull to become... Identifying personal purpose for learning Recognizing the gap Practicing productive and affirmative thinking Building support teams Taking inventory and organizing assets Applying assets and closing the gap with an effective action plan. This book is exceptional in that it masterfully infuses the principle of self-determination into the educational and coaching practices for youth. It does so by providing a curriculum that enables facilitators create supportive learning environments which promote autonomy, competence, and care. This empowers learners to explore, discover, and organize their personal, academic, and experiential assets into a coherent useable form that they can then apply toward the achievement of their innate pull to become.... The potential outcomes of this endeavor are the transformative benefits of resilience, open-mindedness, creativity, confidence, self-mastery, and life-success. In this sense, this book may be nicknamed the Learn, Act, and Become Successful for classrooms and homes. Thus, rather than being told without explanation what to learn and do, youth assume ownership of their learning, guided by a definite purpose in mind and the genius within.

“Highly recommended reading for those hungry for surprise” (A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author)—a rollicking collection of personal stories and essays on relationships, technology, and contemporary society from the news editor at Funny or Die and former artistic director at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. This hilarious collection of essays spans a wide variety of topics. There’s the open letter to Charles Manson, a brave archeologist’s journey into a suburban man cave, and a long overdue, sternly worded letter from Leif Erikson to Christopher Columbus. Walt Whitman even teaches a spin class. Nate Dern’s razor-sharp eye examines modern society and technology, man buns, dating apps, and juicing crazes. Anyone who’s ever scrunched their eyes at WiFi Terms & Conditions, listened to the reasons that led a vegetarian to give up meat, or looked on in horror at the evolving audacity of reality TV will appreciate Dern’s wicked and funny take on modern life. Not Quite a Genius is fun, and funny, “a breath of fresh air that you can eat up bit by bit or all at once” (Abbi Jacobson, cocreator and star of Broad City).

A visionary scientist, a supreme painter, a man of eccentricity and ambition: Leonardo da Vinci had many lives. Born from a fleeting affair between a country girl and a young notary, Leonardo was never legitimized by his father and received no formal education. While this freedom from the routine of rigid and codified learning may have served to stimulate his natural creativity, it also caused many years of suffering and an insatiable need to prove his own worth. It was a striving for glory and an obsessive thirst for knowledge that prompted Leonardo to seek the protection and favour of the most powerful figures of his day, from Lorenzo de’ Medici to Ludovico Sforza, from the French governors of Milan to the pope in Rome, where he could vie for renown with Michelangelo and Raphael. In this revelatory account, Antonio Forcellino draws on his expertise – both as historian and as restorer of some of the world’s greatest works of art – to give us a more detailed view of Leonardo than ever before. Through careful analyses of his paintings and compositional technique, down to the very materials used, Forcellino offers fresh insights into Leonardo’s artistic and intellectual development. He spans the great breadth of Leonardo’s genius, discussing his contributions to mechanics, optics, anatomy, geology and metallurgy, as well as providing acute psychological observations about the political dynamics and social contexts in which Leonardo worked. Forcellino sheds new light on a life all too often overshadowed and obscured by myth, providing us with a fresh perspective on the personality and motivations of one of the greatest geniuses of Western culture.
