Summary

 The beloved star of Star Trek, recent space traveler, and living legend William Shatner reflects on the interconnectivity of all things, our fragile bond with nature, and the joy that comes from exploration with “the insights he’s gleaned over his long, productive life” (Booklist) in this inspiring, revelatory, and exhilarating collection of essays.

Long before Gene Roddenberry put him on a starship to explore the galaxy, long before he actually did venture to space, William Shatner was gripped by his own quest for knowledge and meaning. Though his eventful life has been nothing short of extraordinary, Shatner is still never so thrilled as when he experiences something that inspires him to simply say, “Wow.”

Within these affecting, entertaining, and informative essays, he demonstrates that astonishing possibilities and true wonder are all around us. By revealing stories of his life—some delightful, others tragic—Shatner reflects on what he has learned along the way to his ninth decade and how important it is to apply the joy of exploration to our own lives. “A refreshingly self-aware portrait of a man determined to live every moment to the fullest” (Publishers Weekly), Boldly Go is an unputdownable celebration of all that our miraculous universe holds for us.

Probably not enough Trek for the true fan, but some interesting recollections despite that. A few thoughts quite depressed me! Not what I had been expecting.

Strangely sad in many places

The closer I get to his age I feel the same attachment to risk and danger, the only mistake I can't amend for is not doing it sooner, this was a wonderful reminder of how to see the world... worthy of your little attention

A life of wonder indeed, help yourself.

This was an exhilarating listen. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Shatner once and it remains a very positive memory. I can’t do justice to this book other than to say that 90 years of wisdom condensed into this was a really inspiring.

Listen to it and be inspired, one of the last true role models for turbulent times. The world will not be the same without Captain Kirk.

Wise words

William Shatner remains full of energy, wonder & adventure.👏👏👏

Some new stories including going into space but sadly many retold stories from his other books.

Worth a listen but nothing “earth Shatnering”!

Where nobody has gone before….?

I love anything by William Shatner. I love the sound of his voice having grown up as a Star Trek fan and I respect that he doesn’t always take himself seriously. Nonetheless the book rambles a little in the way that Americans often use ten words when just a few will do. Perhaps it’s the actor in the author that wants to dramatise everything but sometimes points being made take too long to make. Bit it’’s still an enjoyable listen. And there’s lots of new stuff not in his previous books. It’s written somewhat like an epitaph. This seems deliberate. William Shatner clearly relishes living and knows he’s not immortal. He discusses some interesting ideas and feels strongly about the world and our place in it. I hope this isn’t his last book. And I hope the tree he wants his ashes to be buried beneath grows to be strong and long lasting.

Sentimental introspection by an acting legend!
