Out of My Mind: (Not Quite a Memoir)

Alan Arkin's "Out of My Mind" is a candid, relatable, and delightfully irreverent take on how one man went searching for meaning and ended up discovering himself.

In this mini-memoir, the 84-year-old actor shares his powerful spiritual experiences, from his brush with reincarnation to the benefits of meditation.

With characteristic wry humor, he digs into his long time search for meaning past the seductive glamour of show business.

By the time he was in his early thirties, his career was in full bloom and he had achieved everything he’d ever thought he wanted, only to find that it was not what he had hoped for.

Something was missing - himself.

In Out of My Mind, Arkin speaks openly about his existential crisis which brought him from analysis to the serious study of Eastern Philosophy and several teachers who helped him revise his views on almost everything.

This book is a must-read for anyone searching for meaning in their life.
