About this listen
Beloved actress and bestselling author Shirley MacLaine contemplates a wealth of subjects from the mundane to the esoteric in this all-new collection of musings that begin with two simple words: What if...
What if hope is the most dangerous emotion?
What if a frog had wings? (Answer: He wouldn’t bump his ass so much.)
What if our political leaders actually led?
What if Downton Abbey was full of Americans?
What if, for some reason, I couldn't be creative and work?
These are just a few of the “what ifs” that Shirley MacLaine considers in her new book written in the style of her beloved and laugh-out-loud memoir I’m Over All That. In What If..., she speculates on a wide range of matters both spiritual and secular, humorous and profound, earthbound and high-flying, personal and universal. This is Shirley MacLaine at her most funny, acerbic, imaginative, and irresistible.

In response, Nansen shouts, "Riko!" and gives a great clap with his hands.

We seek solace from our suffering and look for wisdom outside the confines of dogma, but soon we're drowning in vague spiritual lingo - intention, higher self, attraction, vibration - that's poetry at best and manipulation at worst. Mastin Kipp offers no fancy degrees, just his life and his scars, which form a roadmap to help guide you through the uncertainty that lies ahead, marking where the cliffs are slippery, where the sun burns hot - and where Grace blossoms.

Two and a half decades ago, Ascended Master Teachers Arten and Pursah appeared to Gary Renard and held a series of conversations with him that elaborated on the teachings of two spiritual classics, The Gospel of Thomas and A Course in Miracles. Gary immortalized what he learned in the books of his best-selling series. This fourth book, a companion to the original trilogy, explores six of the lifetimes in which the incarnations of Jesus and Buddha lived together, beginning in 700 BC when they were known as Saka and Hiroji.

Story
In a career that spanned decades, John Denver earned international acclaim as a singer, songwriter, actor, and environmental activist. Songs like "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Rocky Mountain High", and "Annie's Song" have entered the canon of universal anthems, but at his start John Denver was a young man with little more than a fine voice, a guitar, and a dream. Growing up in a conservative military family, he was not expected to drop out of college and head to Los Angeles, where the music scene was flourishing. Nor was he expected to succeed.

Story
Shaman, meaning "intermediary between spirit and the natural world", has become a much overused word in the West. It's not a job title one can give oneself, and in indigenous societies a shaman is usually born to this role. Ya'Acov Darling Khan is one of the few Westerners who have been acknowledged as shamans by indigenous elders or teachers. After being hit by lightning, Ya'Acov took a 30-year journey into the heart of shamanism to seek his own healing and to learn how he could serve others with the wisdom he acquired through his experiences.

EXCELLENCE!
Shirley MacLaine did a beautiful job introducing an enormous amount of information; covering many and various subjects/topics - and touching on most.
A book well written & read by the eccentric author ; which is almost as impressive, to me, as the contents. I LOVE her no-nonsense interaction with life in general and people in particular. she is an icon who will enhance anyone's life who is (even a little bit ) interested in spiritually evolving ... or just waking from the dream state. I have been intrigued by her since the movie "Some Came Running", because I observed a diamond in the rough becoming polished; which she stripped & sanded over the years to become REAL! And appear to be polished when neccessary.
Shirley MacLaine is, in my opinion, the most versatile, open, honest, secure, talented and aware person I have ever observed.
The only thing I have left on my "bucket list" is to meet her.
This book is only one of her many excellent pieces of art.
If I had to choose one thing to say about this book it would be this:
I was looking for intertainment (a break from listening to and reading hundreds of serious 'self-help' and esoteric books) and what I received is both!

Thank you so much! Precious gem she is!

A Purging of the Mind
Listening to Shirley MacLaine reading her own book is what makes this listen so enjoyable. It's like having a hot toddy with a good friend that loves to entertain with thoughts and ideas that most people are too afraid to discuss.
SM adds a few real life snapshots of a life that is as unique as a good movie, no matter what the genre. A thought carried me throughout the read....If we are all actors in our own theater of life, something I often thought even as a child, and SM seems to have thought also,, then perhaps we could alter the daily script of life to make this a better world. Maybe in some way SM is trying to tell us, what if EVERYTHING we do matters?
If you have an open mind this is for you, if you tend to be hyper critical of what might be considered outlandish ideas, you should pass.... I don't think SM would care if you did. But you'd really miss out. Lol.

“A dancer who thinks”
Shirley MacLaine describes yourself as “a dancer who thinks”. It was quite enjoyable to listen to her reflect and wonder about a myriad of topics both mundane and supernatural. Part of it was practical, part of it was science fiction imaginations, all of it helps us in our personal journey of self study to live better lives.
