A book for those who want life to be bright and exciting, and not dull and boring.
"Happiness is not a terminal station, but a way to travel," said one of the Greats, but how to find this way, the one did not mention.
The author of the book "The World is the Stage - the People in it are Actors..." - the famous St. Petersburg theatrical actor, director and screenwriter Sergey Yankovsky - corrects this omission.
He asserts that acting is the main way to move!
Game is one of the most resourceful states of man, allowing, practically in any circumstances offered by life, feel the joy of life, strength, confidence, energy, which inevitably leads to an improvement in quality of life, no matter at which point people are at.
On the scale of emotional tones, play is at the highest level and gives way only to serenity of existence!
Play is what adults so undervalue and children value so much!
Adults are as serious as possible in all their manifestations, and their seriousness generates an unimaginable tension in which it is impossible to enjoy life.
The epigraph of the book is Shakespeare's famous phrase, mistranslated by the translators; in the original it reads as follows
The world is a stage,
Women and men are actors in it.
Each has its own way.
And the role of its own and the play is divided into acts.
The main question that the author poses in this book - how to make this role fascinating and vivid? Will you be involved in an exciting, full of events performance, or it will be a dull, sluggish action, in the end of which the actor leaves the stage with the clatter of their own hooves, not wanted or needed, lonely and unhappy.
The book also has an applied character, and at the end of each fascinating story, which filled with genuine St. Petersburg humor, the reader will get a short exercise that will lead them in seven steps into the world of inner freedom and creativity.
