Hadfield takes readers into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. He developed an unconventional philosophy at NASA: Prepare for the worst-- and enjoy every moment of it. By thinking like an astronaut, you can change the way you view life on Earth-- especially your own.

I enjoyed his Masterclass and couldn't wait to learn more from this book

4 stars

Great autobiography with lots of wit, wisdom, and of course space stuff. I'm a NASA nerd, so no surprise I'd like it, but I was surprised at how much I got out of it. Not too technical or hard to read, with lots of insights as well as insider-info about the space program over time, and how astronauts are trained (and how their families deal, how much preparation's needed--mentally and physically, how opportunity knocks, etc).
