Moonshot: A NASA Astronaut's Guide to Achieving the Impossible

di Mike Massimino (Autore)

Little, Brown Book Group, 2023

When you think of a NASA astronaut, the image that probably comes to mind is one of the charismatic, athletic hero, ready to take on the stars. But former NASA astronaut turned business speaker and bestselling author Mike Massimino was pretty much the opposite. He was the underdog throughout NASA training: one of the weakest swimmers and a 'gangly, scrawny, working-class kid from Long Island with bad eyesight and a fear of heights.' Still, after working hard and working smart, Massimino made it to the International Space Station and had a successful career as an astronaut. Now, he uses his experience to bring readers valuable, actionable and entertaining advice for how to get back up and make possible the seemingly impossible. Moonshot shares Massimino's hard-earned lessons and how to apply them in work and life. With humour and a unique storytelling ability, he inspires readers to identify the passion in their work, use teamwork and innovation to solve problems, provide leadership in the face of adversity, and never give up when pursuing a goal. Written with characteristic wit and a big heart, Mike operates as our mission control to navigate us as we achieve our own personal and professional moonshots.
