Publisher's Summary

This program is read by William Shatner.

Star Trek legend and veteran author William Shatner discusses the meaning of life, finding value in work, and living well whatever your age in this fascinating audiobook.

"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 form an unforgettable audiobook about a remarkable man.

Best book i never knew i needed. William Shatner really delivers.

Undeniably the best audiobook of the year

I am almost certainly going to listen to this again, possibly even straight away. I was going through quite a low period in my life where it felt like nothing was panning out the way I wanted, and i tend to steer away from traditional self help for solutions but I found great solace in this audio. The oaky delight that is William Shatners voice is a delight to listen to. He has lived a long and fulfilling life and continues to work as hard as he can, to fight to the last minute , to see and feel as much as he can. His energy renewed my energy, and it even unlocked the answer to a big problem i had in my life.

Mostly this book is about pursuing passions, work ethics, making peace with yourself and others, understanding relationships, growing older, death and us being part of something much bigger! Loved it.

I work for Audible, but all my thoughts and opinions are my own.
