'Fascinating new book examines the history of Nasa's Apollo space missions' Daily Mail

Eight key lessons to revolutionise your life with the mindset that got man to the moon.

20th

July 1969: Neil Armstrong becomes the first person to walk on the Moon.

We all recognize this to be one of mankind's greatest achievements. Yet

what did it take to make John F. Kennedy's dream a reality?

In

this remarkable book, Professor Richard Wiseman presents a pioneering

study of the mindset that took humanity to the Moon, and shows how you

can harness and use it to achieve the extraordinary in your everyday

life.

Combining personal interviews, mission archives and

cutting-edge psychology, Wiseman embarks on the ultimate voyage through

inner space. Along the way he identifies eight key principles that make

up the Apollo Mindset, including how pessimism is crucial to success,

and how fear and tragedy can be transformed into hope and optimism.

You

will discover a series of practical techniques that you can use to

incorporate these winning principles into both your professional and

personal life.

Whether you want to start a business venture, change

careers, find your perfect partner, raise a loving family, get promoted,

gain a new qualification, escape the rat race, or pursue a lifelong

passion, these techniques will help you to reach your own Moon.
