Oscar nominated actor, Alan Arkin tells of his life-long love for acting which has led him to a unique career in both theater and film in his memoir, “An Improvised Life”. Although he touchingly writes of his family in the book, he speaks not so much about his personal life, nor does he spend much time on his movies. However, he portrays a genuine passion for the art of improvisation through his tales of acting workshops, work philosophies and explains why he’s been obsessed with acting since he was a child.
Then, when is the right time to start making changes in your life for the better? According to AARP spokesperson and motivational speaker Chris Gardner it’s always now.
“Start Were You Are”, Chris Gardner’s second inspirational book is a life changing guide to getting through life’s toughest situations with dignity and transforming your life from what it is to what you dream it to be. He shares many hard learned life lessons and gives insight to the attitudes and decisions that brought him success.
Alan Arkin and Chris Gardner are this week on Prime Time Radio.
