Chris has a very straightforward way of Describing things. He does not write very prosaic but the scenarios are so Explained well, so detailed. Like he knew what Exactly my interest is right at That exact point in the story. It's not really a guide to general life as more a guide through his life with his goals and his thoughts on the specific situations. Well, there are general advices like "sweat the small stuff" but for me the book worked more like a very nice biography. Especially the short stories are so nice, like installing the Canadarm in space or his sons work at the music video he did in space.
