About this listen

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.

This 91-year-old seems to have the fountain of youth in his back pocket. With the wonderment of a child who eagerly soaks up the excitement of all new experiences that come his way. I absolutely enjoyed hearing Mr shatner recount his life's experiences and it seems to be obvious that his attitude toward life is what is keeping him from getting old and free from ailment.
I wish he didn't have such a fear of death though. The subject matter at this point has been so thoroughly investigated and is so popular a topic that I don't understand why he doesn't delve into it and pick out the common denominators from stories about the afterlife that have started from years ago up till this point. Really death is a part of life. I remember telling this to my dad who was dying from emphysema and toward the end of his life got scared and questioned his faith and asked me what if it was all wrong what if there's nothing there. I told him everything dies, it has been happening since the dawn of man and before and there is a system in place. Life continues in another realm and love keeps the connection between you and your loved ones. I watched my dad just before he passed. He was in connection with something and his fear left him.

A superb storyteller!

William Shatner is a larger-than-life persona, with huge crowds of haters and admirers. hearing his story from his own mouth really gives an important perspective. Now I need recordings of his songs and poems!!!!!

worth it

A great listen which gave me insight into an actor I have enjoyed since my childhood. While not being a memoir I think it gave me insight into what is really important to William Shatner. Being 2/3 of his age made me appreciate the reflections in a life well spent. A hardily recommended listen/read.

Awesome thought provoking essays

At the age of 91 you would expect that Shatner has it down, and he doesn’t disappoint. Superbly narrated in his own unique style, he gives you great stories and insights, vignettes from his acting career and his life. A must for any William Shatner fan.

Great Book

if William Shatner can't motivate you to get out and live life and all that this world has to offer, check our pulse to make sure you're still alive.

A Star Trek fan from the beginning, this was my first time listening to any of William Shatner's albums. I loved it. In a heartfelt memoir of his life, Bill Shatner focuses on the positive, what amazing he has done, what joys his experiences have brought him and the lessons that these experiences have taught him. Although a few things he talks about are a bit much, overall, this is a fascinating life story. Listening to his melodious voice tell his story is absolutely lovely.

There isn’t anything I’d call deep or incredibly profound but it was interesting enough to keep me listening to the end.

Not a classic but …
