10-Minute Lessons in Winning at Business, Life, and Leadership
What if you could share a table—not a seminar—with the world’s boldest thinkers, creators, and leaders?
What if over coffee, pasta, or a sandwich, you could ask them how they solved impossible problems—and walk away ready to tackle your own with sharper clarity, bigger courage, and far better results?
That’s exactly what Take A Genius to Lunch serves up.
This isn’t another lecture disguised as a business book. It’s a 60-course tasting menu of ideas, stories, and breakthroughs—each one short enough to read between meetings, and strong enough to stay with you for life.
Steve Jobs explains simplicity over sushi. Churchill orders roast beef and talks resilience. Taylor Swift sketches a reinvention plan on a napkin. Einstein sips tea and asks, “What if?”
You’ll laugh, you’ll learn—and you’ll never see your own challenges the same way again.
Why This Book?
We live in an age of noise—where everyone’s selling “systems” and “secrets.”
But the real answers don’t come from formulas; they come from people. Over lunch. When the walls come down and the truth comes out.
That’s where the best lessons are born—and where this book invites you to sit.
