The Apollo Mindset: Prof. Richard Wiseman

For 6 Music In Space Week, Prof Richard Wiseman explains to Chris how the Moon landing provides us with courage to succeed.

"If You’re Going to Go To The Moon, Sooner or Later You’ve Got To Go To The Moon"
On 20th July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon - one of mankind’s greatest achievements.

Throughout 6 Music In Space Week, author Richard Wiseman joins Chris Hawkins to share his pioneering study of the mindset that took humanity to the Moon and demonstrates ways in which the same mindset is available to us all.

It was the ‘Apollo Mindset’ that led to the first person walking on the Moon, & Richard feels its available to us all. From preparation to self belief and improvisation to courage, Professor Wiseman explains how the Moon landing in 1969 can harness that pioneering spirit in your own life.
