William Shatner Is Kickstartering a Self-Help Book, Networking Site for 50-Somethings

The best part of the pitch video is when he says he’s had to reinvent himself 400 times. I think my favorite reinvention of his is when he went from young, over-dramatic, gesticulating actor to middle-aged, over-dramatic, gesticulating actor. Must have missed the other 399 times.
I’m not sure I need to know William Shatner’s career tips, as his career has been so specific to him (SPOILER: he reveals some in the video, like “get an email account” and “have a phone”). I’d rather read a book about how the hell he manages to not look 80. That’s a secret worth paying for.
