Life lessons from a man who walked on the moon, by Buzz Aldrin (with Ken Abraham), 2016.

A good book, but not a great one. The life lessons are mainly just good excuses for telling some Buzz stories . . . and he has good stories to tell!

The lessons are:
1. The sky is not the limit . . . There are footprints on the Moon!
2. Keep your mind open to possibilities.
3. Show me your friends, and I will show you your future.
4. Second comes right after first.
5. Write your own epitaph.
6. Maintain your spirit of adventure.
7. Failure is always an option.
8. Practice respect for all people.
9. Do what you believe is right even when others choose otherwise.
10. Trust your gut . . . and your instruments.
11. Laugh . . . a lot!
12. Keep a young mind-set at every age.
13. Help others go beyond where you have gone.
