On the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, renowned psychologist Richard Wiseman reveals the powerful life lessons behind humanity's greatest achievement.
The historic moon landings were achieved against remarkable odds and within the space of just a few years. How can we apply the secrets of this astronomical success to our own goals, to achieve the impossible in work and in life?

The result of intensive research, including interviews with surviving members of the Apollo mission-control team, Moonshot delivers eight key lessons on teamwork, leadership, persistence, creativity, and more, each one a vital part of the mindset for success.
Filled with never-before-told stories and fresh insights, Moonshot sheds new light on the science of success—and empowers each of us to achieve the impossible.

      This audiobook uses the Apollo program as an extended metaphor to offer advice on cooperation and success in our careers and everyday lives.The Apollo missions to the moon remain legendary for accomplishing a seemingly impossible task within a tight deadline. Peter Noble's narration is welcoming, although it's somewhat disorienting to hear a British accent recounting this quintessentially American story. Perhaps recognizing this, the program includes two unnamed American narrators for direct quotes, one man and one woman; however, the result is awkward. Moreover, during transitions the editors have included the same snippet of the Apollo 11 countdown over and over, which is ultimately irritating. MOONSHOT contains a lot of compelling anecdotes and practical advice, but it is largely undermined rather than enhanced by this audio production. D.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
