This book was also televised as a special and broke the barrier against non-traditional spirituality through a biography detailing the movie star's personal growth process. A very brave move that has made the New Age possible and acceptable today. A life-changing book for me. ( )

Wonderful dancer and I love this great lady person! The Chapter quotes are treasures -- "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." The writing is gentle, sensory, the words well-chosen, and in the way women often have, the content is practical. No, not "scientific", not empirically or algorithm bent. But this is a survivor telling her story, and she is not just sitting on someone else's laurel limbs.

I first read this book whan I was 19 and it became my all-time favorite book! I was blown away not only at the subject matter, but her wit and style of writing. Through the years, I have re-read it twice and have enjoyed it as if it was the first! A gem! ( )

Out on a Limb (Shirley MacLaine book)

Shirley MacLaine

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553273701, Paperback)

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.
