Synopsis

Bill Nye has been the public face of science for more than 20 years. In Everything All at Once, the New York Times bestselling author urges readers to become activists and agents of change. Everything All at Once is an exciting, inspiring call to unleash the power of the nerd mindset that exists within us all. Nye believes we'll never be able to tackle our society's biggest, most complex problems if we don't even know how to solve the small ones. Step by step, he shows his readers the key tools behind his everything-all-at-once approach: radical curiosity, a deep desire for a better future, and a willingness to take the actions needed to make it a reality. Problem solving is a skill that anyone can harness to create change, and Bill Nye is here to teach us how. Each chapter describes a principle of problem solving that Nye himself uses-methodical, fact-based approaches to life that aspires to leave no stone unturned. He explains how the nerd mindset leads to a richer and more meaningful life; far more than that, it can help address hunger, crime, poverty, pollution, and even assist the democratic process. Throughout the book, Nye draws on his own experiences-leavened with his trademark humor and self-deprecation-to show how he came to think like a Science Guy, and how you can, too. By the end you will be ready to sort out problems, recognize solutions, and join him in.changing the world.

When I taught in England, I wore a bow-tie every day to work, because I was not down with neckties. They are too long and floppy.

I'm a fan of the author. He's goofy & fun while teaching some great lessons. My boys were of the right age to enjoy his show, so I caught bits of that. I live in Kentucky, so I loved it when he took on Ken Hamm over his ridiculous Ark Park & Creationist Museum both in a live debate & Undeniable: Evo......more

Almost as good as Undeniable, which I hold in very high esteem. The jokes were grown-worthy but in that magical, lovable Bill Nye way, and the Reasoner's Manifesto is my new favorite thing. I also loved hearing about Bill's parents. They seemed like amazing folks. A really enjoyable (if slightly enr......more

Goodreads review by Nicholas Pourazima on November 13, 2019

Less impactful derivative of the great Carl Sagan. The jumble of collected stories are mismatched puzzle pieces to a whole which felt preachy and entitled in many moments. We get it, you're the CEO of The Planetary Society...you don't need to mention it 40 times in your book.......more
