Very interesting read about the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices it takes to make it as an astronaut with NASA. Filled with stories that are relatable to succeeding in life on Earth and in space. Very highly recommended!
A truly inspiring biography by an outstanding man.
A very inspiring and motivating life story told from former astronaut Chris Hadfield. He talks about the gruelling difficulties that he has faced throughout his career with NASA, and the long training process that he had to go through before being able to go to the International Space Station. This book was truly great and the reader got to experience and connect with Chris as he expresses his thoughts and feelings.
Chris Hadfield teaches the world how to make the impossible possible.
I would highly recommend this book. It is a very high interest, very readable book. You don't have to have an interest in space to enjoy this. It is simply a story of how he was able to accomplish some of the amazing things he has done. You will be inspired by the life and work ethic of this very accomplished man.
An interesting insight on what astronauts do to train and prepare for a mission, and how many of these things can be applied to everyday life.
Chris Hadfield's "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth" was such an enlightening read. Hadfield masterfully explains intricate details of an astronaut's career while still reaching the reader through humour.
The organization seemed a little strange with him jumping around through various parts of his career.

I also found that Chris Hadfield’s ‘An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth’ was very well written and easy to read. I did however find the title to be a little misleading. This book is an autobiography of Hadfield’s life and achievements. Sprinkled throughout the book is the author’s insight on how to achieve your goals, and find ultimate happiness and success in your life. His approach on how to succeed in life is based on his experience and very sound thinking. For me, I would have been happier to see his astute suggestions laid out or at least summarized at the back of the book for quick reference. There is something in his book that every reader could learn from Chris Hadfield. Senior Doctor at Bass – D. A.
