20th July 1969: Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. We've seen the

footage, we've heard the history, we've marveled at mankind's great

achievement. What we don't know is what it takes for astronauts to stay

focused, calm and prepared when facing the impossible.

Having

studied mission archives and first-person accounts of the Apollo 11 moon

landings and examined recent psychological and neuroscientific

research, Psychologist Richard Wiseman has uncovered NASA's greatest

untold discovery: the Apollo Mindset. And this is the missing manual.

While

mankind was making leaps in progress, the man who made it to the moon

in the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander had taken many small steps in his mind to

reach this landmark moment. Richard Wiseman is here to share the seven

psychological principles you need to accomplish the impossible.

While

most of us won't explore space, we can use the same ideas and

techniques used by the team behind the Apollo 11 to accomplish your most

far-reaching goals. Be it starting your own business, getting promoted

or giving up the rat-race and pursuing your lifelong dream, the Apollo

Mindset will help you to reach your own moon.
