He argues that these powerful methods have been overlooked outside the acting profession despite their life-changing potential to help us understand ourselves better.• The Stanislavski System features seven questions that help ground us in the moment: who am I, where am I, when is it, what do I want, why do I want it, how do I get it, what do I need to overcome• Our educational system programs us to think and act the same way rather than teaching us how to be authentic individuals• Acting tools can help create "multiple versions of yourself" that allow you to adapt to different situations with different authentic responses• Children should be taught emotional literacy before adolescence to better navigate that challenging period• The "It factor" consists of five learnable skills: active listening, charm, intensity, generosity, and poise• Politics often functions as a distraction from class struggles, keeping people fighting among themselves rather than addressing systemic issues• Taylor's book "All Your Best Selves" offers practical exercises for developing mental and emotional literacyCheck out James Rojas Taylor's book "All Your Best Selves" on Amazon, available in both digital and paperback formats.Follow James Rojas Taylor atWebsitehttps://www.tbcenterprises.com/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SOICANDIEInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/soicandie/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@soicandie1?lang=enSupport the showFollow your host atYouTube and Rumble for video contenthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxk1oJBVw-IAZTqChH70aghttps://rumble.com/c/c-4236474Facebook to receive updateshttps://www.facebook.com/EliasEllusion/Twitter (yes, I refuse to call it X)https://x.com/politicallyht LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasmarty/
