The actress discusses her personal quest into the realm of higher consciousness, detailing her extraordinary search for meaning and added dimension for her life and the impact of that investigation on her relationships

Si no estamos en armonía con nosotros mismos, ¿cómo podemos estar en armonía con los demás, y mucho menos con el mundo que habitamos? Queremos llevar vidas completas, sin tristeza, ira, miedo, estrés y ansiedad, sin embargo, continuamos definiéndonos por estas perspectivas negativas. Parece que somos ignorantes de, e incluso amenazados por, percepciones más positivas. Los intelectuales que logran seguridad personal solo siendo cínicos se burlan del amor y de las emociones más suaves como si fueran mera sentimentalidad. Dicen que lo bueno no está en las cartas para la raza humana. Lo que realmente están diciendo es: 'No quiero arriesgarme a creer, o amar, o a cualquier cosa amable, porque no puedo soportar ser herido, traicionado, rechazado o parecer un tonto.' La raza humana ha tenido, de hecho, una historia sangrienta. Entonces, ¿qué hacemos? ¿Seguimos permitiendo, o causando, que suceda? ¿O intentamos, cada uno de nosotros individualmente, aceptar el reconocimiento interno de responsabilidad, creer en y hacer real el poder que cada uno de nosotros posee, sabiendo que lo que una sola persona hace puede, de hecho, marcar la diferencia?

Autobiografía de la actriz estadounidense ganadora de un Oscar, Shirley MacLaine, nos ofrece sus memorias que abarcan casi cuatro décadas de trabajo artístico, donde relata sus experiencias y su aprendizaje en el mundo del cine.

"I've always felt that I would never develop into a really fine actress because I cared more  about life beyond the camera than the life in front  of it. Over the years my search became broader and  broader. After two months on a picture my car  seemed to veer toward the airport of its own accord. I  still loved acting and enjoyed it. I was a  professional, but basically I was more interested in the  people I played than the movies I played them  in... " -- Shirley MacLaine.An  outspoken thinker, a keen observer, a truly  independent woman, Shirley MacLaine takes us on a  remarkable journey into her life and her inner self. From  her Virginia roots, to stardom, marriage,  motherhood and her enlightening travels to mysterious  corners of the world, her story is exciting and  poetic, moving and humorous-the varied and life-changing  experiences of a talented, intelligent and  extraordinary woman.

Beloved actress and bestselling author Shirley MacLaine contemplates a wealth of subjects from the mundane to the esoteric in this all-new collection of musings that begin with two simple words: What if… What if hope is the most dangerous emotion? What if a frog had wings? (Answer: He wouldn't bump his ass so much.) What if our political leaders actually led? What if Downton Abbey was full of Americans? What if, for some reason, I couldn't be creative and work? These are just a few of the 'what ifs' that Shirley MacLaine considers in her new book written in the style of her beloved and laugh-out-loud memoir I'm Over All That. In What If… she speculates on a wide range of matters, spiritual and secular, humorous and profound, earth-bound and high-flying, personal and universal. This is Shirley MacLaine at her most funny, acerbic, imaginative, and irresistible.

Alternating between her own voice and that of her dog, Terry, the entertainer and visionary discusses the changes her pet has made in her life, love, past lives, and the chances that the end of the world is approaching.

Her most controversial book is one you will never forget. An outspoken thinker, a celebrated actress, a truly independent woman, Shirley MacLaine goes beyond her previous two bestsellers to take us on an intimate yet powerful journey into her personal life and inner self. An intense, clandestine love affair with a prominent politician sparks Shirley MacLaine's quest of self-discovery. From Stockholm to Hawaii to the mountain vastness of Peru, from disbelief to radiant affirmation, she at last discovers the roots of her very existence. . . and the infinite possibilities of life. Shirley MacLaine opens her heart to explore the meaning of a great and enduring passion with her lover Gerry; the mystery of her soul's connection with her best friend David; the tantalizing secrets behind a great actor's inspiration with the late Peter Sellers. And through it all, Shirley MacLaine's courage and candor new doors, new insights, new revelations-and a luminous new world she invites us all to share.

Whatever the topic - show business, ageing, politics, family or the future of mankind - Shirley MacLaine has never shied away from sharing opinions that are as fascinating as they are honest. Here she shares her opinions and insights on all the things that drive her crazy, inspire her to action, and keep her firmly in the public eye.

The fifth volume in one of the most extraordinary personal odysseys of the twentieth century. Don't Fall Off the Mountain, You Can Get There From Here, Out on a Limb, Dancing in the Light and now the most intimate and compelling book of all, It's All in the Playing. Oscar-winning actress, social activist, singular entertainer, best-selling author Shirley MacLaine has the courage to be both candid and controversial. In this book, she casts herself in her most challenging role yet--as seeker of personal and metaphysical truth. It began in Peru ten years ago and ended in Peru ten years later. But the steps along the way were the real story. In filming the miniseries Out on a Limb, Shirley MacLaine was forced to recreate herself ten years earlier. to journey back from Malibu to London, from Sweden to the mysterious landscape of Peru... to the places, the perceptions and profound emotions she experienced then. And to journey beyond, exploring new personal and cosmic dimensions, the choices of her lifetimes, who she was and who she would become. As the heart of Shirley MacLaine's testament is a compelling challenge: we choose our own destinies, create our own illusions. We have the power to design the world in which we live, and the strength to remake ourselves in the image of our dreams.
