On October 1, 2005, Greg Olsen, a successful high-tech
entrepreneur, climbed aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket and blasted off
for the International Space Station. He was only the third private
citizen to make that trip. In this inspiring and entertaining book
we learn how a self-described "average guy" went from
underachieving juvenile delinquent who almost didn't get into
college, to PhD scientist with 12 patents in electronics. We
witness the entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, and occasional
strokes of luck (or "grace," as he calls them) that propelled him
to start and sell two companies, one of them for $600 million in
stock. And we accompany him as he overcomes health issues, a bout
of debilitating despair, and the Russian medical bureaucracy to
achieve his dream of becoming a space traveler. Along the way Olsen
reflects on the mental outlook and work habits that made his
success possible. It's a wild ride - one that will leave you with a
new sense of optimism about human potential.
