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

Interesting and easy read. Good lessons on the value of sweating the small stuff and preparing for emergencies.

This is a great bed time read for both adults and kids. I liked how Chris wrote about astronaut work (that’s naturally intimidating) in a way that is not too technical for the reader and you could easily imagine everything in your mind like you would other novels. You’re able to see his experiences in “his perspective” and surprisingly it’s a humble, relatable place. He is an impressive man with impressive achievements, yet you can still feel his childlike wonder until the very end. Great life lessons in there too like “sweating the small stuff” as opposed to irresponsible positive thinking; and being a “zero”. Although not straightforwardly mentioned, I think the lessons revolved around manifesting your dreams and working towards it, discipline, responsibility, and stoicism/emotional intelligence. And I just needed to say one last thing: what an awesome family this man has: from his wife to his kids. A great life indeed.

#1 Bản Việt Sổ tay phi hành gia
Lần đầu tiên mình đọc 1 cuốn sách chia sẻ về trải nghiệm làm phi hành gia và cuốn sách này được viết bởi phi hành gia có tiếng tăm nhưng mãi sau mình mới biết ông qua youtube :>, Chris Hadfield. Ông có một giọng văn khá là hài hước nhưng vẫn thể hiện được chuyên môn mà theo mình thì trẻ em hoặc thiếu niên có thể đọc và say mê

Not really a guide to life on Earth and a rocky first half as a biography, the book is redeemed by the virtue of Hadfield's unique experiences

Astronauten Chris syn på livet och vad man bör göra för att lyckas. Inte ens astronauter gillar besserwissrar så var en 0:a och inte en +1 eller absolut inte en -1 är det som kommer att stanna.

A good combination of autobiography, life lessons and fun facts/technical details of being an astronaut.
