An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me about Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything by Chris Hadfield

5.0

What an inspiring book! Chris Hadfield has lived a crazy life full of doing things nonstop. His curiosity and undying optimism come through the book on every page and are such an inspiration to me. When he came back from extended time in outer space, his body had been practically destroyed by zero gravity. He would faint in the shower, had constant back pain due to spinal expansion, zero aerobic endurance, and just was decrepit in every way. Despite this, he was so grateful for his chance to live his dreams in space, never complaining or regretting his actions that left his body broken for an extended period of time.
My favorite quote is where he talks of a rocket's direction, or attitude, and says "Attitude predicts success."
