"Star Trek is like sex, even when it is bad it is pretty good." This is not a line from this book but it one I have borrowed and use. I enjoyed the book and thought the author pulled out some interesting ideas from the original series. "Star Trek" wasn't just a SciFi show, but a commentary on life. It was able to look at some real-life problems when other shows wouldn't or couldn't. Dave looks at the show as a model for both business and life. It is an interesting and enjoyable read.

Don't get your expectations to high! Overindulgent and struggling attempts at humor left me wondering why I was violating one of my personal reading rules, and continued to read "All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Watching Star Trek" after I evaluated it as horrible. I guess I was looking for the way out of an impossible situation. I did manage to find one redeeming characteristic. The book was short and I only wasted a few total hours of my life to read. Star trek fans will be hard pressed to 'discover' anything within the pages - there is very little depth, especially from someone who supposedly lived and breathed Star Trek. If you're not a Star Trek fan, you will be left wondering what you just read.
