Live Long And . . .: What I Learned Along the Way
Description
Star Trek legend and veteran author William Shatner discusses the meaning of
life, finding value in work, and living well whatever your age.”I have always
felt,” William Shatner says early in his newest memoir, that “like the great
comedian George Burns, who lived to 100, I couldn’t die as long as I was
booked.” And Shatner is always booked. Still, a brief health scare in 2016
forced him to take stock. After mulling over the lessons he’s learned, the
places he’s been, and all the miracles and strange occurrences he’s witnessed
over the course of an enduring career in Hollywood and on the stage, he
arrived at one simple rule for living a long and good life: don’t die.It’s the
only one-size-fits-all advice, Shatner argues in Live Long and..:What I
Learned Along the Way, because everyone has a unique life―but, to help us all
out, he’s more than willing to share stories from his unique life. With a
combination of pithy humor and thoughtful vulnerability, Shatner lays out his
journey from childhood to peak stardom and all the bumps in the road.
(Sometimes the literal road, as in the case of his 2,400-mile motorcycle trip
across the country with a bike that didn’t function.)William Shatner is one of
our most beloved entertainers, and he intends never to stop entertaining. His
funny, provocative, and poignant reflections offer an unforgettable read about
a remarkable man. Read more
