  • Stephen said that what he thought really matters is the curiosity that makes you go to that door or keep going through that door.
  • One of the things I talk about in my book is about how to question things that you wouldn’t ordinarily question, that ability to step back and see things with the beginner’s mind or the idea that you’re seeing it the way you’re not used to seeing it but the way you should see it.

      "beginner's mind"!! I was thinking about sharing this with you two before, but now I'm convinced to do so. We might be able to glean some stuff for our NAIS workshop. PLUS, this looks like an interesting  book for educators in general.

      Hi Guys, this blog from the writer of A More Beautiful Question might have some good stuff for our NAIS workshop.
  • They found that if you work backwards with 5 whys you would get to the real source of the problem.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Questioning is really about getting out of your routine or looking outside of it. It’s very interesting the natural resistance we have to it.
  • “What you are, thunders so loud I cannot hear what you say.” 
  • what would you try if you knew you couldn’t fail.
  • you might have to take a number of passes at it before you’re going to come up with an answer.
  • We say a lot of words as answers that we think we know what they mean but we don’t know what they mean. What does it mean to say that I won’t be enough? Enough to myself? Enough to my potential? That I won’t be viewed as enough by other people?
  • “What the hell am I saying?”
  • as you’re not just trying to be up there and be cute. You’re intention has to be good.
  • “It doesn’t matter where you land. You could succeed and fail and that’s not the issue. The issue is that you take the leap.” When you take the leap, it allows instincts to take over. I think it’s the difference between pitching and throwing in baseball where they say somebody is trying to control the ball. It isn’t as effective as when the batter up there and suddenly their instincts take over and their body self corrects in such ways to throw a strike. That’s when the pitcher’s really on.
  • When you’re doing an audition with producers, when you hit that techne moment where you hit something that’s true, the producers will start laughing. Not that what you said is a joke or funny but because they recognize it’s true and the techne connection that’s made in your brain. I found this to be a really important tool in acting and in storytelling and in improv. I
  • Do you see improv as a way of life? Can a person live their life in an improv way and should they? Stephen: We all do. The idea that we don’t is a fiction and in the category that you could say is either illusion or delusion.
  • At the bottom line of all 3 of those is the unknown. Whether you’re talking about the uncertainty principle in science – that you can never know anything; that as the closer you get to the truth the more incorrect your findings are.
