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.
