About this ebook
QuickRead presents a summary of "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth" by Chris Hadfield:
What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared For Anything.
Becoming an astronaut is a childhood dream of people all over the world. Being able to leave Earth, experience zero-gravity, and float among the stars is something only a few people in life are lucky enough to experience. Chris Hadfield is one of the lucky few. After logging nearly 4,000 hours in space and spending decades training, Chris has plenty of stories to tell and lessons that he's learned. The secret to his success and his survival can boil down to one unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst. You see, preparing for the worst sounds negative and pessimistic, but for an astronaut, preparing for the worst is a matter of life and death. Throughout An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield aims to teach his readers what he's learned through his time in space. The lessons from space can be easily applied to life on Earth, no matter what you do for a living. As you read, you'll learn how thinking like an astronaut can help you find peace of mind, how there is no such thing as over-preparation, and how landing a capsule from space is nothing like landing a plane.
