I've read through it to get a sense of the book. This isn't a book that you can read from cover to cover in a week or two, then know how to apply it - this is a book where the lessons need time to simmer, and you need time to grow and experience the lessons.

Leonardo da Vinci was infamous for taking years to finish something. While each lesson in this book won't take you years, the journey to find you inner Leonardo will.

I like this book and will be taking my time over the next 6 months to experience and digest each lesson to get a good foundation. Then, hopefully, taking the next couple of years to become more of a renaissance man.

Though I may not agree with the author's conclusions about Oumuamua, the book kept my interest and was an engaging read. The author has very valid points on being open minded and not following what the majority say just because they say it; but instead, to examine evidence objectively and come to your own conclusions based on that.

I like his tag line in reference to the data accumulated for Oumuamua, "And yet it deviated"

I would recommend this book.

It wasn't Peter David's best work, but it did get good in the final chapters.

Well written, and a great pace. Read a second time around and enjoyed it. :)
