Alan Arkin has achieved a long and successful career in Hollywood but he wasn’t always happy. In his new memoir, Out Of My Mind, Arkin opens about his spiritual journey from reincarnation to Tibetan Buddhism.

Arkin started a musician. In 1956 his folk band Tarriers hit the top five with “The Banana Boat Song”. Shortly later he switched to theatre and then the movies where he landed an Oscar nomination for 1996’s “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming”, but that didn’t bring him happiness.
