It's All in the Playing

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