Astronaut Scott Kelly uses his unusual path to success to motivate everyone who thinks that shooting for the stars is beyond their reach in this gifty package, perfect for graduations and other life-changing moments.

How did a distracted student with poor grades become the record-breaking astronaut and commander of the International Space Station? People think that astronauts are always perfect. "Failure's not an option," right? But Scott believes that it's our mistakes and challenges that can lead to greatness. Not everyone's road to achievement is a straight line up. Most of us need to navigate a bumpier road full of obstacles to get where we want to be. Using ten life-changing moments, Scott shares his advice for mastering fear and failure and using it to see the world with fresh eyes. Unusual lessons from his path to space can prepare everyone for success on the ground.
