One of my birthday gifts to dearie in a few weeks, is a book I bought for him which I'm sneaking in my read: By the Canadian astronaut who played guitar in space, Chris Hadfield: An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth.

I really recommend it: it's his autobiography not only about how astronauts train, more about life lessons the humbling experience of training hard to fly for space but in the end, most astronauts, don't get selected to fly. So it's all about the journey, in the moment, instead of the goal itself.

Also there's a piece about training for a one's own death, in case an astronaut die should accidentally on a space mission.

Here's a great quote (p. 35): "See a funny thing happened on the way to space: I learned how to live better and more happily, here on Earth".

And for experienced cyclists here, we all know for difficult rides, it's all about enjoying the journey, not just the destination/goal itself
