Buzz Aldrin
About this listen
Everywhere he goes, crowds gather to meet Buzz Aldrin. He's a world-class hero, a larger-than-life figurehead, and the best known of a generation of astronauts whose achievements surged in just a few years from first man in space to first men on the moon. Now he pauses to reflect on and share what he has learned, from the vantage point not only of outer space but also of time: Still a nonstop traveler and impassioned advocate for space exploration, Aldrin will be 86 in 2016.
No Dream Is Too High whittles down Buzz Aldrin's event-filled life into a short list of the principles he values, each illustrated by fascinating anecdotes and memories, such as:
Second comes right after first. NASA protocol should have placed Buzz Aldrin on the moon first, but rules changed just before the mission. Buzz discusses how he learned to be proud of being the second man on the moon.
Look for opportunities, not obstacles. Buzz was rejected the first time he applied to be an astronaut. Failure is an opportunity to learn to do better.
Always maintain your spirit of adventure. For his 80th birthday, Buzz went diving in the Galapagos and hitched a ride on a whale shark. He stays fit, energetic, and fascinated with life.
No Dream Is Too High is a beautiful memento, a thought-provoking set of ideas, and a new opportunity for Buzz Aldrin to connect with the masses of people who recognize his unique place in human history.

A bit...meh..
This was ok. The narration was great, felt like Buzz was actually reading it. The content - a bit hit and miss. There were some interesting bits in there and some Apollo information I wasn’t previously aware of, but the book is mainly Buzz trying convince you he’s not really an ego maniac- whilst simultaneously being an egomaniac! The “do you know who I am”/McDonalds story made me want to cringe. It was a bit like a David Brent autobiography.
Buzz is a hero of mine and so I won’t hold this against him but I won’t be listening to this one again.

A history lesson
in more ways than one, it is inspiring and interesting to listen to the words about himself and what he believes about his life lessons some I agree with a couple are a bit dated but we'll meaning.

Like thinking big?
Alot appeals to me about this book, if your a big thinker with an open mind, want a better future for humanity then listen to Buzz a man that looked back at the whole globe, not many authors can give you that point of way.

Buzz is awesome
Amazing man with some very wise words that everyone can benefit from. Entertaining, thoughtful and positive outlook on life with some heart felt inspiring insights in to someone who has fully embraced what life has to offer and still does. To echo the words of Buzz - get your ass to Mars. Great read - you’ll be inspired after reading / listening to this.

Entertaining and easy to listen
Light content that didn't take any effort to listen to. No major life changing revelations to be expected though.

Best Book 2016
This is probably the best book listened to so far in 2016 (have listened to at least 15 to 20). If this is an accurate account from Buzz then sounds like a great person.

A little condescending in tone
While not read by the author, I found the book to be a little on the condescending and patronizing side. He also came across very cocky which I guess you’ve earned as one of only twelve men to have walked on the moon. That under riding tone just kind of put me off but definitely some inspirational lines in there too.
