About this listen
Alan Arkin, one of the most beloved and accomplished actors of our time, reveals a side of himself not often shown on stage or screen.
Like many teenagers, 16-year-old Alan Arkin had it all figured out. Then came young adulthood, and with it a wave of doubt so strong it caused him to question everything he thought he knew about himself and the world. Ever skeptical and full of questions, Arkin embarked on a spiritual journey to find something—anything—to believe in. An existential crisis in his 30s led him to the study of Eastern philosophy. Soon he began opening himself to the possibility that there was more to life than what he had simply seen, heard, or been taught.
In this Audible Original "mini-memoir," the 84-year-old actor shares his powerful spiritual experiences, from his brush with reincarnation to the benefits of meditation. In a gruff, earthy voice that sounds more suited to a New York cabbie than a spiritual guide, he shows us that wisdom can come from the most unexpected places and teachers. Out of My Mind is a candid, relatable, and delightfully irreverent take on how one man went searching for meaning and ended up discovering himself.

Critic reviews
"[W]ow is he a great storyteller. His voice is hypnotic - but not put-you-to-sleep hypnotic, but like a guided concentration. Which is apropos, as he devotes much of this shorter audiobook to his evolving spirituality and his current meditation habit.... He owns listeners' attention with his confident timbre, his New York accent and, most important, the power of his stories." (The New York Times Book Review)

Gentle, surprising and beautiful
Discovered this audiobook after reading about his death in the paper ( recently discovered him through watching the brilliant Kaminsky Method). Not entirely what I was expecting, some weird and wonderful stories but I loved his message at the end, felt emotional and grateful to him for sharing what he had discovered and happy that he has arrived at the ocean.
