An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth

Chris Hadfield

“An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth” is a memoir by Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to walk in space. Strangely enough, it has nothing to do with astronomy and spacecraft as Hadfield focuses on the months and years of preparation each astronaut has to undergo. His stoic views always made him anticipate problems upfront, something that he claims could save you in any situation.
