520    On the heels of his acclaimed memoir, Never have your dog 
       stuffed, beloved actor and bestselling author Alan Alda 
       has written Things 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 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.
