This is a book about Personal Development disguised as a book about Newton's Laws of Motion. What is the connection between the two? Well, Personal Development aims to lift our thinking, our confidence and our expectations to new levels. Newton's Laws of Motion are behind the Physics of Rocket Science, and Rocket Science aims to lift things like rockets to new levels. Thrust, gravitational forces, inertia, balance and many other scientific principles are behind the physics of Rocket Science that are taught in high school, mostly forgotten by students because they don't seem to have importance…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This is a book about Personal Development disguised as a book about Newton's Laws of Motion. What is the connection between the two? Well, Personal Development aims to lift our thinking, our confidence and our expectations to new levels. Newton's Laws of Motion are behind the Physics of Rocket Science, and Rocket Science aims to lift things like rockets to new levels. Thrust, gravitational forces, inertia, balance and many other scientific principles are behind the physics of Rocket Science that are taught in high school, mostly forgotten by students because they don't seem to have importance in their lives. Interestingly, these very principles are represented metaphorically in books on personal development and success. While other books on personal development may discuss how the mind works using principles from science, this book takes the reader through the science first, and uses practical examples of how the mind works to illustrate these principles. Real equations and formulae are used, but that doesn't mean that this is a science text book. It is just a disguise, remember? This is really just a lighthearted adventure into science that includes anecdotes, humour, diversions and even trivia about words and phrases to amuse budding Rocket Scientists as they discover how to apply mental and emotional thrust to their dreams and aspirations. The aim is to challenge, motivate and educate, and if the reader learns something about Rocket Science in the process, then that's not a bad thing, is it? Rocket Science - at least as represented by Newton's Laws of Motion - is not really that difficult to understand. Neither is Personal Development. The two, however, are more closely linked than many people think. Therefore, this book is written to show that Personal Development is not Rocket Science, that Rocket Science is not Rocket Science, and that Personal Development is actually Rocket Science.

Autorenporträt
Greg Simon became a high school Science and Mathematics teacher last Century. Around that time, he also took an interest in creative writing, completing (though not publishing) a few novels and three short stories. The short stories each won first place in local Eisteddfods encouraging Greg to write and self-publish a fantasy novel in the early 2000s. Greg has also written songs, been in an amateur band, and written a Christmas musical for a homeschool group. Though out of the classroom for many years, Greg still enjoys teaching and tutoring, particularly in Maths and Science. He also loves English grammar, punctuation and etymology. Greg and his wife, April, enjoy life in Brisbane, Australia, but love to travel the world when possible. They have four married children and nine grandchildren, whom they enjoy visiting.
