Meandering

I'm sure that the points and lessons are buried somewhere in this book but they are hidden amongst the endless anecdotes. You get to the end of a chapter that is apparently about topic X and have no memory of this topic being discussed but lots and lots of little stories that are loosely connected to the theme.

if you want to hear lots of little stories about people connected with the space industry go for it. if you want to learn new ways of thinking, models, frameworks etc - this isn't the place you'll find them.

A book you will revisit again and again(Audible book)

Recommending this book highly! And will be listened to again and again.

The way Ozan wrap up thinking processes and more in exciting stories is great (and yes most stories have to do with space and rocket scientist). Great book!

Think and Act Like a Rocket Scientist

I was a bit unsure about this title, I have read many books like this and most are quite dry, I'm glad to say however that this is not one of those books.

The stories are short and interesting and the lessons are well signposted, its always nice to hear the authors narrate their book too.
