Sinossi
21 luglio 1969. Neil Armstrong è il primo uomo a posare i piedi sulla Luna. Ma cosa è davvero servito per raggiungere un obiettivo che ai più sembrava irraggiungibile? Con questo libro Richard Wiseman offre non solo la storia affascinante dei mesi che hanno preceduto lo sbarco sulla Luna e degli uomini che ne sono stati protagonisti, ma anche un'inedita e affascinante analisi della cosiddetta "mentalità Apollo", un approccio che può guidare la vita personale e professionale di ciascuno di noi. Attraverso le interviste ai protagonisti di quegli anni, lo studio degli archivi della NASA e le ultime frontiere della psicologia, Wiseman identifica i principi chiave che definiscono la "mentalità Apollo". Scritto per chiunque voglia avviare un'impresa, cambiare lavoro o semplicemente vivere una vita più piena, questo libro aiuterà a raggiungere la propria, personale, Luna.

Recensioni
This book does a great job of connecting psychological/self-help principles with a real-life situation. Each chapter describes one aspect of the space program that put Americans on the moon in the 1960s and then connects that aspect with one principle for success. While none of these principles were Leggi tutto
This book works on two levels: 1. The story of how we got to the moon within a decade, which as every year passes seems more and mor remarkable. 2. How to achieve similar success in your life including the issues of failure, innovation, responsibility, courage, being prepared, flexibility and passion. Leggi tutto
This book is much more about the psychological and inspirational angle than I was expecting, which wasn't a terrible thing. It was an interesting angle for a book to take. It also has quite a bit, though, about the moon missions. I'm not exactly sure, though, what people it might appeal to most as t Leggi tutto
I hate self-help books. For the most part. Until I read them, then I usually like them. And I liked Moonshot. The angle was somewhat interesting: what was the psychology that helped land a man on the moon? And the answers to that question weren’t entirely surprising. I mean, I feel like we all know th Leggi tutto
I thought Moonshot was an incredibly fun and unique read. Part history, part self-help, and part psychology, Dr. Wiseman relates the triumphs of the Apollo missions to circumstances we may face in our own life. We may not be a President garnering passion to land a man on the moon before this decade
This book is amazing and I enjoyed every page. Wiseman describes the Apollo missions like you see them in movies, just in a way that you feel like you can reach your own moon. He starts out every chapther by giving a describtion of how this chapther relates to the Apollo mission, he then proceeds in Leggi tutto
Great book with some great, practical insights from the lessons of the Apollo program to put a man on the moon--inspired by US President Kennedy's vision for the '60s. Great ideas on how to spark creativity and to get "impossible" things done. Includes some great self-assessments that give you insig Leggi tutto
