#2155 An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield

Prepare for the worst. Stay humble. Enjoy the ride.

Today’s book: An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield—an inspiring and down-to-earth guide from a real-life astronaut on how to think, prepare, and act like a professional—in space and in life.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Sweat the small stuff. In space, small things kill. On Earth, attention to detail builds excellence.
  • Prepare for failure. Assume things will go wrong—and train so thoroughly that you can respond calmly and effectively.
  • Be a zero. Don’t try to prove yourself. Contribute quietly, learn constantly, and make the mission—not your ego—the priority.
  • The right stuff is humility. True pros listen more than they talk and never stop learning.
  • Enjoy the process. The best moments often come during the climb—not after reaching the peak.

You don’t have to go to space to live like a pro. What’s one small way you can train, prepare, or lead better today?
