It's All In The Playing

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this intimate and compelling memoir, lauded actress Shirley MacLaine 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, Oscar-winning actress, social activist, and singular entertainer 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. 
 
At the heart of It’s All in the Playing is a compelling challenge: We choose our own destinies, create our 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.
