Moonshot

A NASA Astronaut’s Guide to Achieving the Impossible

De: Mike Massimino

Narrado por: Mike Massimino

Learn the NASA Astronaut mindset to solve problems, provide leadership in the face of adversity, and never give up on the pursuit of your wildest dreams.

Mike Massimino achieved his dream of exploring space—now he distills stories and insights from NASA into an actionable guide to accomplish your biggest goals.

Mike reveals how to make possible the seemingly impossible—on Earth. Written with characteristic wit and a big heart, Mike identifies ten hard-earned lessons of spaceflight and other life experiences, including:

• One in a Million Is Not Zero: The odds are against you. Do it anyway.
• The Thirty-Second Rule: You’re going to make mistakes. Learn how to deal with them.
• Be Amazed: The universe is an incredible place. Stop what you’re doing and look around.
• Know When to Pivot: Change is inevitable. Accept and embrace it.

We all have our own personal “moon shots” we’d like to take in life, but as mission control will tell you, doing one big thing really means getting a thousand little things right along the way. Moonshot is the book that will show you how to do just that, and help set you on the right path to achieve your own personal and professional dreams.

The entire book was interesting!

Found the entire book interesting! I still prefer to have an actual book in hand when “reading”. But have started to listen to books more thanks to audible & I prefer to listen to the books where the actual author is reading their own book vs someone else doing the reading. Would recommend this book to anyone especially if you have an interest in the space program! 👍🏼👍🏼

the relentless persue and perseverance of chasing your dream while self checking reality

it thought us to never give up, "one chance in a million it's not 0!"

Excellent story

I enjoyed the authors personality as it came through as he read. A definite Must Read.

Great book by a great guy

Great read. Well narrated by the author. Wonderful story and important suggestions for success in life in general.

Amazing lessons we could apply to our day to day even if we are not astronauts

I wish I bought a hard copy so I could take notes but loved Mike on Big Bang I knew I’d loved his narration. I want to gift this book to every person I know who just wants to be a better version of themselves or who aspire to be something more. Such great lessons! I’ll be listening to it again soon.

Honesty

Really nothing.
I spent a total of 6 years living in New York City and Long Island and felt connected to the author.

Love this book- recommended it to so many so far!!

Loved that Mass reads his own book again, and it is very well done. It’s a distilled version of his first book in some ways, but with more reflection on how others can take the lessons he learned and apply them to their own lives. The way he breaks this down and reminds the listener several times that he’s just an average guy with grit and perseverance keeps the advice feeling like it’s coming from an Uncle or cousin or brother. The non-space nerd friends I have that listened at my recommendation said they also really enjoyed it!!

Inspiring Story with Learned Lessons

I love Mike Massimino. Fascinating story of space exploration. I loved the content and the insight shared. I was taken out of the story sometimes by the performance, but not enough to lose a star.

loved it

I laughed at some of his mistakes. Who hasn't stripped a screw and beat themselves up mentally for it? Or tried to correct a mistake only to make it worse? Or confessed an error to their boss because they know that no bad products can leave the plant? So, I related strongly to the errors that he made. Then, he gave some good advice on how to handle mistakes and learn from them.

Entertaining and motivating

What a great thing when you are entertained and motivated at the same time. Just what I needed right now. Definitely recommend.
