Summary: exploring metaphysics
Review: Shirley Maclaine has proved herself not only to be a very good actress, but writer as well. She is very insightful and obviously intelligent. For those exploring the metaphysical realm, I would highly recommend her books.

Summary: Provokes thought...OUT ON A LIMB is better though.
Review: Shirley MacLaine writes about cohesion in our world. What do you believe and how did you truly come to believe in that? She
doesn't target religions but does inject insight into a notion
some find upsetting: God is everywhere, God is in you, a power of change for your life is also in you. I enjoy her books and hope
to see more. But my favorite is OUT ON A LIMB when Shirley shares her unsettling discoveries, discusses Jesus Christ and the missing 18-years from when he was 12-30---a time period deliberately remove from the original bible text. She challenges others to think and test what you believe in a real perspective.
Terrific!

Summary: A Perturbing View of Life
Review: This kind of modern day thinking is mighty scary and I am sad that Shirley MacLaine promotes such foolishness. Ms. MacLaine likens life to a play and believes we ALL pick our parts and others are just characters in our play and besides, they PICKED their part too! Why is it people who have money, fame and relatively good luck fall for this? Why never starving victims of war or horribly abused women in Saudi Arabia? This line of thinking also apparently justifies whatever you choose to do in your life as it is merely for the experience and quite eliminates the need for much of a conscience. After all, if you decide to hurt someone, it was chosen in THEIR life script as well. Psychic types often promote this viewpoint. They claim a person who has been murdered was really a willing participant, as they actually wanted to leave this world. Scary concepts that psychopaths buy right into for their justifications. Does Ms. MacLaine really understand what she is encouraging? Pat Brown/Director/Investigative Criminal Profiler/The Sexual Homicide Exchange, Inc.
