THE BRAND NEW York Times bestseller-now in paperback. Award-winning actress Shirley MacLaine pens probably the most funny, available, and timely book of her profession, detailing all the things she’s over…and several she’s not.

At a particular time in life, most of us come to understand what’s truly important to us and what simply doesn’t matter. For Shirley MacLaine, that point is now. With this sensible, witty, and fearless collection of little observations and big-picture questions, she shares with readers those points that she is over coping with in life, in love, in the home, and in the larger world…as well as the things she will never get over, regardless of how lengthy she lives.

Among the things that Shirley is over: individuals who replicate themselves; conservatives and liberals; ill-mannered young people; the poison of celebrity; becoming polite to boring people; and getting older in Hollywood.

As frank and personal as Nora Ephron’s I Feel Bad About My Neck-which, incidentally, Shirley doesn’t since she has learned the secrets of good lighting-I’m TOTAL That is MacLaine at her acerbic and irreverent best.
