So good to get you inspired. Easy reading, witty paragraphs, funny anecdotes. If you're a Billiever (eh!) you already know a lot of things he talks about here, but who cares, it's Bill! and he's a great storyteller.

Like others, I couldn't finish this one. I got to chapter 13 without understanding the point of the book. It jumped around too much work not much focus

Part memoir, part science-musings, part call-to-arms, Everything all at Once is an interesting, if scattered book. Bill Nye is a household name. I grew up watching his science episodes in school and sometimes at home, always entertaining and instructive. As an adult I appreciate how much work he puts into advocating for science, in a world that seems increasingly polarized, even when it comes to things that should be objective - like basic science facts.
He gives his guide to doing everything all at once right at the beginning:
Objective - Change the world
-Everyone you'll ever meet knows something you don't
-Good engineering invites right use
-Constraints provide opportunities
-Be part of a start
-Think cosmically; act locally
-Question before you believe
-Change your mind when you need to
-Be optimistic; be responsible; be persistent
I like Bill Nye, I like the objectives of the book, and there's a lot of interesting parts to it. It is however, as mentioned above, a somewhat scattered approach to his topics. It's got a solid American optics (he's American, so it's fair but it needs to be noted) - and the only thing wrong with all his puns is that he keeps apologizing for them in his asides.

This was really interesting book to listen too. What I like about it is that Bill Nye explains how the idea of "everything all at once" can be of a benefit to everyone. It's a bit like thinking of the big picture, and I was glad to listen to one of my favourite childhood creators, Bill Nye the Science Guy.
I'm going to be looking into his other books, and see what else I can learn about how to apply what I learn to the the things I'm doing in and with the world.
