Kaumal –
A lovely book which gives an insight into the mind of one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived. The seven steps are described brilliantly and many exercises are given on how to improve each aspect.
A great thing this book teaches is to always keep a journal to jot down any ideas that you come up with before you forget them!
A valuable book for anyone interested in self-growth and learning. [Review from Goodreads]
