Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut
and has logged nearly 4000 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, and been temporarily blinded
while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The
secret to Col. Hadfield's success-and survival-is an unconventional
philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst-"and enjoy
every moment of it."
In "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth," Col. 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 Col.
Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights will teach you how
to "think" like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way
you view life on Earth-especially your own.
