"Steltzner is a genetic cross between Einstein and Elvis Costello who has mastered the art of managing complex tribes of humans. The Right Kind of Crazy is a fabulous--and ongoing--story."
--JUAN ENRIQUEZ, coauthor of Evolving Ourselves

"Crazy ideas stay crazy until they become reality. The problem is, it takes a lot of people working together to turn crazy into amazing. Adam Steltzner should know--he did it. In this book he shows us that doing what others think is impossible takes more than grit and courage. It takes the ability to inspire people . . . It takes leadership."
--SIMON SINEK, optimist and author of Start with Why and Leaders Eat Last

"Adam Steltzner not only does great engineering, he also teaches it and he can lead a great engineering team such as the one that landed Curiosity on Mars. All that embedded in a gaudy personality and astute observer makes for a book that is as delightful as it is instructive."
--STEWART BRAND, president, The Long Now Foundation

"How does a band of engineers get a 2,000 -pound robot to the surface of Mars? The Right Kind of Crazy is proof that with the right kind of leader, a team of determined dreamers can accomplish just about anything."
--BEN SILBERMANN, cofounder, Pinterest

"This book shares Adam's journey from juvenile delinquent to landing on Mars. In its pages you will enter the mind of a fearless genius rocket scientist and discover the power of intuition, and how creativity and courage are as important as math. It is a must-read for scientists and artists alike."
--TOM SACHS, artist

"A gripping account of the Curiosity mission, and some fascinating insights into the engineering principles and analytics involved."
