"Although we glamorize rocket science, we assume that it's beyond comprehension by mere mortals who don't have a special kind of genius baked into their DNA (hence the common saying, 'It's not rocket science'). Yet while the complex math and scientific details of building rockets may be out of our reach, the principles that guide the discipline don't have to be. In this mind-expanding book, Ozan Varol, an actual rocket scientist, shows how the strategies that built the Apollo 11 can help you achieve your own moon shot ... [and] teaches you how to attack previously unsolved problems, how to overcome everyday obstacles to grand ambitions, and much more"-- Provided by publisher.
