Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Stewart on August 27, 2022

Full disclosure: I won a free ARC of this book in a Goodreads giveaway. Lest you become too jealous, said ARC contains no Epilogue, just the "TK" placeholder. For all I know, that will turn out to be the best part of the whole book … I find it difficult to imagine that there are more than a handful o......more

Goodreads review by Jim on June 22, 2023

I waited until BOLDLY GO: REFLECTIONS ON A LIFE OF AWE AND WONDER was available from my public library because ... well, it was by William Shatner. Frankly, I've long thought him to be one of the most self-absorbed people I've encountered in the media. I still wanted to read this, however, because I......more

Goodreads review by John on December 10, 2022

William "Bill" Shatner, in his proud 10th decade of expression, is an interesting person. I binge listened to his self narrated audiobook through a damp and cool early December week. He chats with the listener through a series of his life experiences-his breaking into acting at age 6 (we are continu......more

Goodreads review by Dan on April 25, 2023

Unlike a lot of his co-stars, I love William Shatner. I always have, ever since I was a kid. From Star Trek, TV show and movies both, to his later years as an interviewer and TV show host, I just love the guy. He's Canadian, but I consider him a national treasure. And when he dies eventually, hope......more

Goodreads review by Rod on July 29, 2023

Road trip! Time for a celebrity memoir audiobook! Getting into his nineties, but still going strong, William Shatner is a reliable road companion. As with some of my older relatives, sure, I've heard a lot of these stories before, but it's still comfortable to sit and hear them again. Shatner likes L......more
