More about the book
Colonel Chris Hadfield has dedicated decades to astronaut training, accumulating nearly 4,000 hours in space. His experiences include breaking into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposing of a live snake while piloting, and temporarily blinding himself while outside an orbiting spacecraft. He also gained fame for his rendition of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. Hadfield's success stems from an unconventional philosophy learned at NASA: prepare for the worst and enjoy every moment. In his book, he shares insights from his training and space exploration, illustrating how to make the impossible possible. Through captivating stories filled with the thrill of launches, the wonder of spacewalks, and the calm required in crises, he reveals how conventional wisdom can hinder achievement and happiness. His unique lessons include not visualizing success, caring about others' opinions, and paying attention to details. While you may never pilot a spacecraft or perform surgery in zero gravity, Hadfield's vivid insights will teach you to think like an astronaut, fundamentally altering your perspective on life on Earth, especially your own.
