Die Mondlandung vor 50 Jahren gehört zweifellos zu den größten Schritten der Menschheit. Doch wie war es möglich, das scheinbar Unerreichbare zu schaffen?
Mit dem Blick des Psychologen führt Professor Richard Wiseman Interviews mit Mitgliedern der Apollo-Crew und durchforstet die Archive. So rekonstruiert er die Denkweise, die die Menschheit zum Mond führte, und zeigt, wie jeder sich diese aneignen kann, um Außergewöhnliches im täglichen Leben zu erreichen. Mit praktischen Techniken stellt Wiseman dar, wie wir die "Apollo-Prinzipien" in unserem beruflichen oder persönlichen Leben anwenden können. Egal, ob wir ein Unternehmen gründen, den perfekten Partner finden oder einer lebenslangen Leidenschaft nachgehen möchten - diese Techniken helfen jedem, den eigenen Mond zu erreichen.

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.
