It's an ideal read for curious adults, aspiring scientists, leaders and anyone who loves a gripping true story with genuine substance behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColonel Chris Hadfield has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space across three missions, including a stint as Commander of the International Space Station. In this memoir he takes readers behind the scenes of astronaut training and life in orbit, recounting extraordinary moments such as breaking into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, dealing with a live snake mid-flight, and being temporarily blinded while spacewalking outside an orbiting spacecraft. He also reflects on the making of his celebrated zero-gravity performance of David Bowie's \"Space Oddity\", which introduced him to a worldwide audience. Threaded through these stories is Hadfield's central philosophy, learned through decades of rigorous NASA training: prepare relentlessly for the worst, while still savouring every moment. Rather than reading as a straightforward adventure story, the book uses these episodes as a framework for thinking differently about risk, ambition and everyday setbacks. Hadfield explains how astronauts train to \"sweat the small stuff\", turning anxiety into methodical preparation, and how that same mindset can help ordinary readers face job interviews, exams, health scares or family challenges. The result is a memoir that works equally well as inspirational storytelling and as a practical, down-to-earth guide to resilience, teamwork and leadership — grounded in one of the most extraordinary careers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGripping, first-hand astronaut stories you won't find anywhere else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical, transferable lessons on preparation, risk and resilience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a genuine, globally recognised space explorer and communicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for book clubs, gifting, and fans of memoir or popular science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copy, ready to read or gift immediately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris Hadfield is one of the most accomplished astronauts in the world.

Chris Hadfield selects his favourite photographs from thousands taken during his time in orbit, pairing each with insight drawn from his deep knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology. Where a casual glance might see only cloud, coastline or desert, Hadfield reveals ancient river deltas, hidden mountain ranges, city lights and the fragile line of atmosphere that protects us all. The result is a book that rewards close, repeated looking, with pages that at first appear abstract resolving into recognisable landmarks and human settlements once explained. Hadfield's warm, conversational voice makes complex science accessible, while his genuine wonder at the planet comes through on every page. It is at once a coffee-table book of extraordinary photography, a geography lesson, and a meditation on how fragile and interconnected our world truly is.
