Product Description
Over the course of ten international bestsellers including The Camino and Out on a Limb, Shirley MacLaine has firmly established herself as a fearless, iconoclastic thinker and seeker of truth. Now, as she confronts the realities and rewards of growing older, MacLaine reflects on where her journey has taken her and the greater understanding of her own place in the universe that her experiences have brought into her life.
As she looks back across the remarkable professional and personal milestones she has experienced so far, MacLaine is able to recognize the profound power of synchronicity at work. Sage-ing While Age-ing explores a wealth of issues from health and nutrition, to spirituality, to life on other planets, to MacLaine's views about the greatest mystery of all: what happens to us after death.
Filled with her trademark wit and candor, this is a powerful, provocative book that will delight and intrigue MacLaine's legions of fans and fellow travelers everywhere.

 Still going out on the limb after all of these years! June 6, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
At seventy-four years of age, there's a good chance that SAGE-ING WHILE AGE-ING will be Shirley MacLaine's last book about her own life and the spiritual journey that she's been on for the last two-and-a-half decades. In many ways, this new book sums up what was begun in OUT ON A LIMB, DANCING IN THE LIGHT, and GOING WITHIN. The author continues with her diligent research into mind, body, and spirit, while attempting to answer the most important questions about life and why we're here. This isn't to say that her journey for understanding is over. No, not by a long shot. Ms. MacLaine will continue to ponder the mysteries of the universe right up until the very moment she dies and then maybe after.
SAGE-ING WHILE AGE-ING covers a large number of topics that prove to be rather interesting for those who are consciously on the their own spiritual journey. In it, Ms. MacLaine discusses the hatred and anger that seems to permeate most societies in our world today, wondering if this aspect of humanity is necessary in order to have love and insight and a strong desire to know God. The pondering of this question enables her to look at her own fears with regards to growing older and perhaps even dying alone, which in turn leads her to examine the field of alternative medicine in relationship to her own health problems and what needs to be done to insure that everyone receives the best possible health care in the world today. But, that's isn't all. Reincarnation is discussed as well as the heavy UFO activity on our planet and how every country except the United States seems to accept and acknowledge these somewhat friendly visits from other solar systems. The author also takes a hard look at religion and spirituality and the affects that both have had on humanity over time and what changes may be necessary in order for mankind to survive.
Needless to say, I found some of the subjects to be fascinating and thought provoking, while others did little to stir my interest. I think most readers will encounter this. You'll have to pick and choose what's of value for you. I have to admit to enjoying her discussion on synchronicity and how it has affected her life and work. The chapters on the famous 1947 Roswell crash in New Mexico and UFO activity around the world since the late forties also proved to be an eye-opener. I didn't, however, care much for the information about alien abductees, nor the secret code to the Bible and the unusual event that seems to be coming in December of 2012. Still, I would recommend this book to those of you who've enjoyed Ms. MacLaine's previous books just to see where she's at in this particular stage of her spiritual growth. Whether or not you agree with her views, Ms. MacLaine definitely lays it on the line as she once again goes out on a limb to discuss the subjects that seem to be gaining in popularity. This is certainly a book that will have you asking your own questions before the final page is reached!

Shirley still has alot to say and says it well. It seems I knew a good deal of the information but some political details were "whew". Read it with an open mind but not with a hole in your head.

Don't be put off by the title of my review. I love reading Shirley MacLaine's books. They are as entertaining as they are informative. It's just that I was a professional advertising writer for more than 30 years (a spiritual author now), so I was trained to keep my writing as focused as possible. Shirley tends to go down any avenue that crosses her mind, and there are many of those avenues in this book. She writes about everything from holistic medicine, to the nature of synchroniticies, to her favorite topic of "star beings." I learned quite a few new things from this book. And I especially applaud her eloquence in describing our relationship to the divine (which is the focus of my work). But what I like best about Shirley is that she never comes off as a "know-it-all." You can tell that she is always open to knowing more than she currently knows. In fact, most of the ideas that she puts forward in this book are phrased as questions. Shirley will inspire you to question your own beliefs, as she has been questioning the nature of "reality" her entire life. Enjoy!

I have love Shirley since her TV movie, 'Out On a Limb." I have always appreciated her bravery in coming forth with her beliefs in a time when most people would say she was crazy.
I enjoyed her book 'Sag-ing While Age-ing' as I have enjoyed all her works. She shares her insights and experieces freely and there is much to learn about ourselves. There are no better gifts that someone could give to another, then the gifts love and knowledge. I feel both from Shirley.

I love Shirley and she does not disapoint in this new book.
I want saging with aging part 2, 3, and 4..
There is so much she covers and some pretty far out stuff.. but I am right there with her in my beliefs about the topics covered.
If you are a fan, this is a must have addition to your collection.
I am ready to re read it and all my friends want to borrow it.
