Live long and ... : what I learned along the way

Summary: ""I have always felt, like the great comedian George Burns, who lived to one hundred, I couldn't die as long as I was booked." And William Shatner is always booked. Still, a brief health scare in 2016 forced Shatner 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 his only one-size-fits-all piece of advice, Shatner argues in Live Long and ..., 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 to never stop entertaining. His funny, provocative, and poignant reflections offer an unforgettable listen about a remarkable man."--
