In July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. Decades on, this historic mission is widely regarded as one of humanity's greatest achievements. In this remarkable book, Professor Richard Wiseman presents the first study of the remarkable mindset that took us to the Moon, and shows how you can harness it to achieve the extraordinary in your everyday life. Combining interviews of the surviving members of Mission Control with cutting-edge research into the science of success, Wiseman presents the eight psychological principles at play, including:
how the power of passion sows the seeds of success
how an unusual form of pessimism is crucial to progress
how fear and tragedy can be transformed into hope and optimism
Whether you want to start a business venture, change careers, find your perfect partner or just escape the rat race, these techniques will help you to reach your own Moon.
