Shirley MacLaine takes you step by step through her meditative, spiritual and physical belief system. She speaks knowledgeably on the subject, and she allows you time to process the information if you are a newcomer. She does not talk down to you, and neither does she make it so incomprehensible that it's useless. It's a pragmatic approach to relieving the stress of daily living. I highly recommend it.

Cybill Shepherd does not write to get even with the men in her life. She does not trash Bruce Willis or Glenn Gordon Caron. She details what she perceives as the destruction of a once fabulous show: Moonlighting. She also etches a chilling portrait of the behind the scenes turmoil at CYBILL. She also takes herself to task for many of her egotistical behaviors. The book has gotten a lot of attention for the sexual details, but the book is more than that. It's about a woman who is coming to terms with who she is and what she once was. It's a wonderful read.

Don't listen to that malcontent from Russia. This is one of the best screwball comedies ever made. Grant and Dunne are perfection.
