About this product

Product Information

On the heels of his acclaimed memoir,Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, beloved actor and bestselling author Alan Alda has writtenThings I Overheard While Talking to Myself,an insightful and funny look at some of the impossible questions he's asked himself over the years: What do I value? What, exactly, is the good life? (And what does that even mean?) Picking up where his bestselling memoir left offhaving been saved by emergency surgery after nearly dying on a mountaintop in ChileAlda finds himself not only glad to be alive but searching for a way to squeeze the most juice out of his new life. Looking for a sense of meaning that would make this extra time count, he listens in on things he's heard himself saying in private and in public at critical points in his lifefrom the turbulence of the sixties, to his first Broadway show, to the birth of his children, to the ache of September 11, and beyond. Reflecting on the transitions in his life and in all our lives, he notices that "doorways are where the truth is told," and wonders if there's one thingart, activism, family, money, famethat could lead to a "life of meaning." In a book that is candid, wise, and as questioning as it is incisive, Alda amuses and moves us with his unique and hilarious meditations on questions great and small.Things I Overheard While Talking to Myselfis another superb Alan Alda performance, as inspiring and entertaining as the man himself. From the Hardcover edition.

  • Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself

    I LOVED the title of this book. Amazing how so few words say so much... as haven't we all talked to ourselves and not listened? This title sort of brought me to my senses that I should always pay more attention to what I am thinking. I purchased this book on eBay for my son's Christmas gift so neither of us has read it as yet. I was just happy to have the opportunity to get it at such a good deal. I've read the first three pages and found that enough to tell me I must read the whole book. When reading his book, I can heard Alan Alda telling me his story. I know it's going to be a winner; I love the way he thinks and writes.

  • JUST GOT STARTED

    I`ve only started reading the book,but already it is very entertaining. I have always been a big fan of both Alan Alda,and of course M*A*S*H,and I am sure by the time I have finished reading this book I will also like him as a writer. This is the first book of his I have ever read so far.
