Moonshots: Creating a World of Abundance By Naveen Jain with John Schroeter - Foreword by Sir Richard Branson

In his first book, Naveen Jain, serial entrepreneur and founder of Moon Express, Viome and other groundbreaking companies, shares how curiosity, imagination, and exponential innovation are the keys to creating life without limits. Naveen Jain has been at the forefront of the exponential technology developments that will forever change how we live and work – from redefining civilian space exploration to disrupting healthcare and education.

In MOONSHOTS: CREATING A WORLD OF ABUNDANCE, Naveen Jain and John Schroeter, publisher of the iconic Popular Electronics, Mechanix Illustrated, and Popular Astronomy magazines, reveal remarkable insights from the "super entrepreneur" mindset – the mindset that incites him and others to create an exciting and abundant future. Jain also shares his personal journey and how he's applied these powerful concepts to moonshot initiatives he's leading today, including Moon Express, a private lunar venture that promises to open the moon's resources for the betterment of humanity.

It may not seem like it, but we are living in a world where anything is possible. We have access to technology that is evolving at an exponential rate. In this book, Jain and Schroeter explore unique perspectives on several topics such as how these exponential technologies in the hands of imaginative entrepreneurs can lead us out of a world driven by scarcity and into an economy of abundance. They also share how anyone and everyone can play a vital role in creating a better future and why entrepreneurs who are spearheading these efforts are poised to become the world's next superpower. 

The foreword, by Sir Richard Branson, shares a snippet from his own journey as an entrepreneur; how he took on seemingly impossible challenges – his own moonshots – to get where he is today. His success was not found by following a list of rules; it was by diving in despite possibly failing. Branson also notes that real success comes from asking the question, "How does one go about doing things that are truly meaningful in the world?" Throughout Moonshots, Jain sets out to answer that very question.

Join Jain on the journey through these pages and awaken your own moonshot potential – a discovery that will change your future and possibly the world. MOONSHOTS is available for preorder today and on bookstands on October 23, 2018.
