1. This is One of the Most IMPORTANT Books You’ll Ever Read
   Okay–I’m going to start by saying that this book makes me a bit angry.And it’s not for the reasons you may think: it’s because this is SUCH an important book, and it’s not being taught to the masses, and heralded in schools (well, of COURSE not, as they are as Jain puts it, ‘too invested in the status quo’ to have a book as innovative as this in their system).This book is literally having a billionaire/genius/philanthropist in your ear, letting you know where the world is going, how to capitalize on that and how we can ALL make this a better place for humanity.It tells you what the future looks like. It’s like the Wayne Gretzky quote about skating to where the puck will be…yet the rest of mankind is happy going through life in a trance, content with incremental changes…without knowing about the tsunami of massive change that is already happening all around us.As impressive as this book is in telling us what will happen and how life will change, the most important aspect of the book is that the reader gets a glimpse into HOW the mind of Naveen Jain works. He is, without a doubt, the most optimistic, positive, possibility-oriented person I’ve ever experienced–And this book is like a roadmap to that mind.It lets us know not what to think, but the possibilities of HOW to think.It’s amazing, it’s groundbreaking, and as dense as society is right now, I don’t think the brilliance of this book will be discovered until many years later. It’s almost too much to handle, as the folks in mainstream media, more concerned with who is marrying who, and what somebody said about someone else can’t get their collective minds around such important ideas.Thank you, Naveen for writing such an important book.P.S. The picture is an example of how I’ve marked up and highlighted this book. It’s amazing. It’s the textbook to the future.P.P.S. I got the Audible and hardback versions, so I can listen, then go back and take notes. It’s that impactful.

2. Inspirational!
   “People often say the sky is the limit. The sky is not the limit. There is no such limit. It is an artificial boundary. *Imagination* is our only limit.”Moonshots is one of those books that changes the way you view the world. It’s full of optimism and humor and thoughts on how we’re capable of extraordinary things. It was an empowering read, one that gave me a lot more hope for the future than anything I’ve read for a long time. Naveen Jain’s personal story is also incredibly inspiring, and his depth and breadth of knowledge was on display in the various quotes and examples from history, literature, and philosophy.While I don’t necessarily agree with everything Jain wrote, the book certainly gave me a lot to think about. And when you get down to it, the world could definitely use more people with Jain’s enthusiasm and positivity. This book is the perfect anecdote to news-induced pessimism and apathy.

3. A must read to inspire your own Moonshot!
   I feel the forward from Sir Richard Branson sets the tone for this book:”My life has never been about anything to do with material wealth. The fact is I’ve always had just one mission in life, and that is to make people’s lives better.”In most companies it is challenging and difficult to have moonshot ideas. This book can rekindle that flame that inspired each of us to pursue so much more than just a job. A calling or occupation to the betterment of mankind!Naveen and Schroeter inspire us to this higher calling, and give real examples of ordinary people doing truly remarkable things!This book can inspire and help you find your moonshoot no matter what is happening in your life!

5. Mostly an inspiration book and small part business book
   The relatively small business part of this book can be summarized by Nareen’s quote towards the end where he says “how you deal with setbacks and difficulties may actually be the primary determinant of your ultimate success. And oftentimes, success is found on the very far, dark side of failure.”

6. Opens your perception to whats happening around us and how promising the future looks.
   This book was amazing and almost does too much! Almost. It combines philosophy, abstract thinking, advice from Navy SEALS, futuristic tech, economic principles, and history; and looks at space travel, mining the moon, making illness optional, living to 200, and reinventing education. It was awesome to get a glimpse into the future and examines the skills and mentality we will need to thrive in this new utopia. For those who need optimism for the future, this book will light you up like a Christmas tree!

8. Great book
   I am only about a third through the book and find it very motivating. Even if I don’t take off for a moonshot, it changes the way I think….more broadly, moving the perceived borders a little further and further again

10. So much of what Nareen shares is obvious when we know and he takes our knowing to the next level of implementation. Brilliantly simple read which is at the same time full of depth. I will be returning to Moonshots many times to keep reminding me to put into practice it’s many gems
