Chris Hadfield – An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth – Life Lessons From Space

An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield shares the unconventional approach he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst and enjoy every moment of it. This book presents life lessons drawn from his years of training and space exploration. Synopsis Chris Hadfield takes readers into his experiences of preparation and work in space to explore how to make the impossible possible. Using entertaining, eye-opening stories that include the adrenaline of launch, the wonder of spacewalks and the calm, measured responses required in crises, he describes how conventional wisdom can obstruct achievement and happiness. His “counter-intuitive” lessons include not visualising success, caring what others think, and always sweating the small stuff. While most readers will never pilot a spacecraft or perform tasks in zero gravity, the book sets out to show how to think like an astronaut and reconsider everyday life on Earth.
