Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and
has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken
into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake
while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the
exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with
his performance of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to
Chris Hadfield's success - and survival - is an unconventional
philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst - and enjoy every
moment of it.
In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth,
Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space
exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through
eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch,
the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses
mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the
way of achievement - and happiness. His own extraordinary education in
space has taught him some counterintuitive lessons: don't visualize
success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.
You
might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music
video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield.
But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to
think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view
life on Earth - especially your own.
