No Dream Is Too High

Life Lessons from a Man Who Walked on the Moon

De: Buzz Aldrin

Narrado por: Traber Burns

Everywhere he goes, crowds gather to meet Buzz Aldrin. He's a world-class hero, a larger-than-life figurehead, and the best known of a generation of astronauts whose achievements surged in just a few years from first man in space to first men on the moon. Now he pauses to reflect on and share what he has learned, from the vantage point not only of outer space but also of time: Still a nonstop traveler and impassioned advocate for space exploration, Aldrin will be 86 in 2016.

No Dream Is Too High whittles down Buzz Aldrin's event-filled life into a short list of the principles he values, each illustrated by fascinating anecdotes and memories, such as:

Second comes right after first. NASA protocol should have placed Buzz Aldrin on the moon first, but rules changed just before the mission. Buzz discusses how he learned to be proud of being the second man on the moon.

Look for opportunities, not obstacles. Buzz was rejected the first time he applied to be an astronaut. Failure is an opportunity to learn to do better.

Always maintain your spirit of adventure. For his 80th birthday, Buzz went diving in the Galapagos and hitched a ride on a whale shark. He stays fit, energetic, and fascinated with life.

No Dream Is Too High is a beautiful memento, a thought-provoking set of ideas, and a new opportunity for Buzz Aldrin to connect with the masses of people who recognize his unique place in human history.

Inspiration from Buzz Aldrin

If you want to get to know Buzz a little bit better, and learn about the things he values, this is a good listen.

Cannot put this down!

Dr Aldrin 's point of view on life is both inspirational and thought provoking! Fun read!

Buz

It was a good book but with he would have shared more about his mental illness and alcoholism.

Patriotism at it's best.

The feeling of united patriotism I felt while listening to Buzz's unquie reflections on his life and his take on what he felt were his failures. This book is another side of space history that we the people would have never known about the random scientific facts of moon dust and the quick wittedness of what to do in and thinking outside the box moments.

Grandfatherly wisdom

This book is written very accessibly and is full of fun stories and inspirational reminders. The feel is as though you are are visiting with Buzz himself. Thanks.

Fascinating

Really enjoyed Buzz's story. I can relate in many ways. Gave me encouragement not to retire too soon. Highly recommend this book

spectacular

I loved the messages of encouragement and to push forward always learning and never give up.

Great Life Lessons

Others have said it better than me - this felt a little short, but the lessons and examples in this audiobook were great, and the material was definitely very inspired!. A lot of neat anecdotes too on things that happened during the Apollo and Gemini missions that I never heard about before made this a great listen. Great job Buzz!

Magnificent hero who all can learn from…

So much more than just about being first flight to land on the moon. This man has lived life in ways few do. He has suffered and deals with his faults but never wavers in his love for others, his country and the skies. I can’t wait til we land on Mars and hope he’s alive to see his passion become reality. Such a positive role model.

Buss is ny new hero!

A book that made a huge impact in my life! I was so moved when the life lessons were summarized.
