“We live in the world we choose, but we have to learn how to make choices.”
We’re used to thinking of literacy as reading and math—but what if the missing piece of success in life and business is emotional and mental literacy? The key idea here is simple: we’ve developed amazing tools to train actors to step fully into human emotion and psychology, and now it’s time to bring those same tools into real life. When we can systematically break down a moment and understand our environment, purpose, and obstacles, we stop running on autopilot and start acting with clarity and intention.
James Rojas Taylor brings a compelling case for treating personal growth like a craft—with structured tools and creative exploration. His blend of Stanislavski’s acting methods, self-created “suits,” and mental simulations opens the door for building empathy, sharpening awareness, and tackling both personal and global challenges. His insight? Emotional strength isn’t born—it’s trained, just like a muscle.
James Rojas-Taylor is a U.S. Marine veteran, actor, and author of All Your Best Selves. With over 20 years in performance and a passion for emotional intelligence, he blends philosophy, psychology, and playfulness to offer tools that help people live and lead with authenticity.

Konstantin Stanislavski: Is considered the pioneer of modern acting. His emphasis on “living” a role instead of just “performing” it has shaped the acting methods used today. As he developed his acting system, Stanislavsky kept thorough notes, which were later published as a series of influential books—An Actor Prepares, Building a Character, and Creating a Role. These works became essential resources for actor training in both Russia and the United States.
