This is a book to get you thinking about your thinking - about life, success, relationships, the English language, the American language, and some Latin while you’re at it.

This easy-to-read, fun book will challenge and entertain you. You’ll also learn some basic science and see how it applies to your goals and aspirations.

If you have a sense of humour, a sense of curiosity, or just want to get the most out of your life, start your count-down and blast off into the Space between your ears.

There are plenty of books out there that will give you five ways, six steps, seven secrets, eight keys, or any number of things that will improve your wealth, health and happiness.

Isaac Newton gave us three laws of motion. Although these laws account for the science behind rockets, they’re taught in secondary school – so, they are rocket science, but they aren’t.

Is there a connection between the laws of motion and emotion? How does motion tie in with motivation?

Personal Development: It’s Not Rocket Science, but It Is will entertain and challenge you. The activities at the end of each chapter will help you consider your direction, speed and motive force in a down-to-Earth way as you shoot for the stars.
