The book was discussed by the podcast host and guest, Mike Massimino, who described his journey to becoming a NASA astronaut and the lessons he learned. The 30-second rule for handling mistakes was highlighted as one key takeaway.
Your book is fantastic. I read it the day it came out. I would love for you to quickly talk about the 30 second rule.
So 30 second rule is if when you make a mistake, you don't want to make mistakes, but you are going to make mistakes. You don't want to ruminate over them for a long period of time.
Take yourself out of living because you're so upset with yourself. But it's OK, I think, to be upset. So what I learned in my training was when you make a mistake and I use this in space, you make a mistake. Oh, man, that was a terrible mistake.
You can feel upset, but cap it at 30 seconds. So 30 seconds to beat yourself up. Call yourself names. Just be brutal to yourself. Don't vocalize any of this because you'll scare the people next to you. Just keep it internally. But after that, 30 seconds is over. It's over. You've had your little rant. It's time to move on.
