Col. Chris Hadfield author of Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth

from The Avid Reader Show · host Samuel Hankin

Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, and been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The secret to Col. Hadfield's success-and survival-is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst-and enjoy every moment of it.The Avid Reader Show is sponsored by Wellington Square Bookshop in Chester County, PA. The Show airs every Monday at 4 PM EST on WCHE AM 1520. Please visit us at www.wellingtonsquarebooks.com
