Recommendation
When author Ozan Varol was 17 and living in Istanbul, he read about NASA’s Mars Landing project and the work that Cornell University was doing to support it. He wrote to the lead professor, describing his computer skills, and landed a job on the Mars program, along with a scholarship. Varol’s remarkable journey since then has relied on thinking like a rocket scientist. But as Varol points out, even rocket scientists fall prey to human biases and lazy thinking. With a fresh, engaging perspective, Varol elucidates the advantages of open-mindedness, careful thinking and bold action.
