Funny, fascinating and thoughtful, this is the most personal interview we have ever conducted on Ages & Icons.

Ages & Icons caught up with actor Alan Arkin to discuss everything from his terrifying past life experience to his long psychological journey and how it’s affected him as he ages. And, of course, we asked him about his career, The Kominsky Method, why he and his wife love keeping a residence on Cape Breton Island and so much more.

A terrifying past life experience. Unexplained miracles. The fruits of Freudian analysis. It’s all part of Oscar and Tony-winning actor Alan Arkin’s latest Audible audiobook, Out of My Mind, in which he chronicles 50 years of living as a spiritual and psychological work in progress, attempting to carve out a belief system of his own.
