10-Minute Lessons in Winning at Business, Life, and Leadership
Picture a corner café humming with conversation. The air smells of espresso and possibility. At one table, Freud explains the unconscious to Bowie; nearby, Florence Nightingale trades notes with Hamilton on reform and discipline; Paul McCartney hums softly while McConaughey sketches the next scene of his life.
That’s the spirit of Take a Genius to Coffee—sixty extraordinary thinkers sharing quick, potent ideas. Each “cup” is a ten-minute exchange, rich enough to stir reflection yet light enough to finish before it cools.
You’ll meet inventors, artists, explorers, and entrepreneurs whose insights can wake you up faster than caffeine itself.
Why This Book?
Because wisdom often begins with a single conversation. The right idea, shared at the right moment, can shift your day—or your destiny.
Coffee is more than a drink; it’s a ritual of clarity. In the time it takes to sip one cup, you can absorb the life lessons of history’s most creative and disciplined minds.

How to Use This Book
One coffee, one conversation, one insight.
Morning inspiration? Read Frost or Mandino.
Facing conflict? Study Bismarck, Cohen, or Ecclestone.
Need innovation? Turn to Turing, Morse, or Whitney.
Every sip delivers perspective—strong, simple, and stimulating.
Imagine This…
You’re unsure which path to take—Frost leans in: “The road less traveled still gets you home.”
You’re staring at a blank page—McCartney grins: “Start with one honest note.”
You’re facing chaos—Caesar says: “Control begins with command.”
You’re losing focus—Bourdain reminds you: “Stay hungry for stories.”
Each idea is a refill of clarity. Together, they form a lifetime of lessons. Designed for leaders, dreamers, and learners who crave quick, meaningful insights. Creators seeking energy from unexpected mentors. Anyone who believes the best meetings happen over coffee—not in boardrooms.

Sixty legends. Sixty lessons. Each one bringing a story, a principle, and a strategy you can use today. You’ll meet thinkers, builders, warriors, and creators who changed the world. And they’ll change the way you see yours.
Take a Genius to Coffee is caffeine for the mind—strong, varied, and impossible to forget.
Read it for creativity. Read it for character. Read it for the quiet reminder that sometimes the world’s biggest ideas start with a small table, two cups, and a question.
So pour a fresh cup and join the conversation. The geniuses are waiting. Coffee is served.
