What, exactly, is the good life? (And what does that even mean?) Picking up where his bestselling memoir left off -- having been saved by emergency surgery after nearly dying on a mountaintop in Chile -- Alda 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 life -- from 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 thing--art, activism, family, money, fame--that 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. 538 Requires OverDrive Media Console (file size: 86531 KB). 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Alda, Alan,|d1936- 650 0 Actors|zUnited States|vBiography. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 776 1 |cOriginal|z1415943133|w(OCoLC)143046373 910 cpp3253 914 B9717AD7-0EB3-4D15-A71F-CBD190428C4C 994 C0|bCKE
