The families behind America’s astronaut heroes are just like yours...sort of. This is the hilarious true story of one of those families. While many children grow up wanting to become an astronaut, Patrick Mullane grew up the child of one. In his memoir, The Father, Son, and Holy Shuttle: Growing Up an Astronaut’s Kid in the Glorious 80s, Mullane shares his hilarious coming-of-age story. It’s a story about his quirky and death-defying father, a mother with a secret, and a cast of characters from his extended family who showed their love for him in often bizarre ways.

I really enjoyed this book Pat. You have written it very well and brought the reader along for the incredible ride your childhood has been. Your sense of humour and exuberance for life is mirrored from your fathers book, Riding Rockets, there is definitely a strong family resemblance. Also a fantastic read!!

In this groundbreaking book, best-selling author Richard Koch charts a map of success, identifying the nine key attitudes and strategies can propel anyone to new heights of accomplishment. The pattern of success is fractal. It is endlessly varied but endlessly similar. Success does not require genius, consistency, all-round ability, a safe pair of hands or even basic competence. If it did, most of the people in this book would not have impacted the world as they did.

I have just finished the audiobook of Unreasonable Success - Richard Koch. This book is well worth reading. A key insight, which I had not come across before, was the landmark called "Transformative Experience". Not only is this very well described, it is very timely for me.
I am currently undergoing a transformative experience in my life, a change from being an airline pilot to an entrepreneur. While I have had some moderate success, I have not yet experienced, Unreasonable Success. Now that I have completed the journey with this book, I am able to plot a road map, to set about achieving this.
The story of Margaret Thatcher, soon to be kick out of government, just prior to the ensuing Falklands war, was a key description of this critical step for unreasonable success.
Other key landmarks which left an impression on me were:
Make your own Trail
Find & Drive your Personal Vehicle
Thrive on Setbacks.
Each landmark is tells a story through the eyes of one or more of the key 20 characters in the book, including Madonna, Nelson Mandela, Helena Rubenstein and Leonardo Da Vinci.
This book shares the philosophy of creating unreasonable success. I will be using it to great effect.
