About this listen

Using 10 life-changing moments from his path to space, astronaut Scott Kelly shares his advice for mastering fear and failure and turning our daily struggles into rocket fuel for success - the perfect gift for graduations and other milestone moments!

In this insightful and funny book, Scott Kelly shares how a distracted student with poor grades became a record-breaking astronaut and commander of the International Space Station.

People think that astronauts are always perfect. "Failure's not an option", right? But as Scott shares in his deeply intimate book, he believes that it's our mistakes and challenges that have the potential to lead to greatness. Not everyone's road to achievement is a straight line. Most of us need to navigate a bumpier road full of obstacles to get where we want to be.

Scott’s story is for everyone who believes that shooting for the stars is beyond their reach!

His other book goes even deeper until his life path with more stories. This is a nice glance into his career. Highly recommend checking out Endurance.

Great story!

My only complaint is that this book is too short. I love Scott’s stories and his perspective on life. He’s got excellent advice to give. I wish it were twice as long.

Excellent book, wish it were longer

I preordered the book and while it was good, it was very short. The book just felt like it was missing something. If you havent read his other book, you need too. If you have, I feel like you can skip this one.

overall... pretty good

The book is short and it will be quite redundant if you already read the first book.

Not really worth spending 1 credit here if you already read his first entry.
