Stop Acting, Start Living: A Revolutionary Guide to Achieving Success in Show Business and Life Paperback – January 31, 2013

I just finished reading this book and it gave such inspiration to continue to believe in myself. It also encouraged me not to give up on my dreams. It spoke to me and said "If you don't act on your dreams that you'll just be unhappy in your perceived comfort zone". Wow. What finally made me realize that I need to act that offered me assurance in continuing what I'm doing is when he said in order to be successful and let yourself shine through to others is to allow yourself to become vulnerable and to take risk. Well it looks like I'm even a greater risk taker after reading this book. Overall this book ties in success advice as well as acting tips, techniques and concepts that are valuable and that I've not thought about before. I'm so happy that I bought this book. Just so happy.

Last year I wrote it in german and now I'll do it in English. This is a profound book about living and acting. It will help every human being to grow, to find the real soul, the heart and it gives the faith to follow your dreams. Without this teacher I would not be the man I'm now. He helped me finding my real self, he brought me back my emotions, he taught me vulnerability. This book is my personal bible. It's not only a book, it's a miracle, a wonder, a must reading book for every human being. Without this book I would be dead. For sure. And now I'm willing to conquer the world. This book is amazing and important. It's THE book.

This is one of the best instructors I have had the pleasure of observing in action. He makes other instructors look like they are newbies. His ability to perceive the actor is impressive and his appraoch is quite more neuroscience than anything else.

Bernard does a good job at promoting optimism and lecturing one into forming better personal habits, and although I agree with a lot of what he has to say in that regard there were a few things I disagree with, such as opening yourself up to everyone and making friends with strangers, learning about 2 minutes of every subject in order to make friends, yadda yards. Sorry not sorry but that just seems a lot to me like ACTING! Granted the great Shakespeare would shake his finger at me and quote "THE WORLD IS BUT A STAGE, HENRY!!" But I, personally am one who connects strongly with very few people and when there is, by any chance, a fellow humanoid that is magnetically transferred into my personal universe that I don't necessarily get along with, I don't pretend to LOOOOVE their company, but I digress. Ol` Hiller here seems like a genuine dude who could teach me a few things about acting and if one day I run into you on the mean streets of L.A. I'd love a quick chat! Good day sir. ¡°°°

This book by Bernard Hiller is excellent! A must read, not only for acting but for how to live life to the fullest! Carry it with you on your journey. Every page is filled with inspirational and motivational truths for success and happiness.

The content was great and very easy to understand. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to elevate their life and be infused with energy.

Not much of a reader but if you do take the time to read it you will be motivated and that’s the goal right?

Great book not only for actors but a great guide for life.

If you are serious about your acting career, this is a MUST-READ book. I was half expecting a lot of hype and jargon, but because I'm attending one of Bernie's Masterclasses next month, I thought I should read this book. Boy, am I glad I did! Not only is if packed with truth and invaluable information, it was like a mirror to my soul...!Although I know this review might sound rather soppy and gushy, there are not many books I have read that have had such a profound impact on my thinking, feeling, and outlook on life. If you want to be an actor, want to be a better actor, or simply want a better life, if you don't read this book, you probably aren't serious about it, and you will probably miss out on living the true, full life you are capable of.Thank you Bernie! I truly think you have saved me from an early grave!xx

I think the book is not for everyone but if you have decided to read it try and wrap your mind around this ideas. It is less about acting and more about the way you should think. There a lot of interesting stories and examples. Try it! I can definitely recommend it.

It really is a revolutionary guide. I'm so happy that I decided to buy this book - it's the real deal. Small but packed with precious things. I think even someone who is not interested in showbusiness or acting might enjoy this, as the tips it gives are in my opinion applicable to any field of life. It's really a book about how to live and pursue happiness.

just an amazing book that changes your life and the way you handle everything! Really this book is for everybody! just let it happen...stay open....breathe and improve your life
