Leonardo da Vinci: Was His “Genius” Actually Something Else?

Leonardo da Vinci… painter, inventor, visionary — one of the greatest minds in human history. But what if his genius wasn’t just talent? What if it was something deeper… something misunderstood? In this episode of GL Deep Dives , we explore the theory that Leonardo’s brilliance may have been driven by traits we today call neurodivergence — a different way of thinking that allowed him to see patterns, connections, and possibilities others couldn’t. We break down: Leonardo’s unusual habits, focus, and working style The link between creativity and neurodivergent thinking How his mind jumped between art, science, and invention Was his “unfinished work” actually part of how his brain functioned? And the bigger question… what do we call genius, really? Was Leonardo ahead of his time… or wired differently from everyone else? ⚡ Sometimes the line between genius and difference is thinner than we think. 🔥 Two episodes every week — Tuesday and Friday.
