Reviews

[Cepraino Cabrera]

Great book. Excellent for getting into the minds of renowned geniuses from across the world. The biggest strength of this book is its accessibility. Easy to read and understand and is worthy of rereading. The only complaint I have is the beginning of the book. It’s about 28 pages long until we get into the mind of our first genius (Spoiler alert: whom was Mozart)

But overall this book is worth the time and money. I commend Peter Hollins for taking the time to simplify and translate the words and habits of these geniuses and make learning about them exciting. With that said, pick up this book and experience the joy and thrill i got from reading it.
