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
4.0
OK, Space Program, take my money.
This book is half inspirational, half biographical. I was a fan of Hadfield's Twitter photos and YouTube videos from his ISS flight, so I was completely biased coming into this book. And it was great. Sometimes it went heavy on the "and I was number one in the class AND aced the sim AND have the best wife in the world AND I play great guitar!" But that's okay. You don't get to be an astronaut by being a B+ guy.
My only slight criticism is that the inspirational part leaps around in time.
My husband bought me an autographed hardcover copy of this book for Christmas. That's a humble brag.
