A curious mind : the secret to a bigger life / Brian Grazer, Charles Fishman.
Since the late 1970s, Hollywood producer Brian Grazer has sought out interesting and accomplished strangers - from spies and Nobel laureates to artist and CEOs - for what he calls a 'curiosity conversation." These talks have helped inspire many of the films and television shows Grazer has produced through Imagine Entertainment, including Apollo 13, Splash, 8 Mile, A Beautiful Mind, Friday Night Lights, and Arrested Development. This book is a personal account of how Brian Grazer's enthusiasm to talk with anyone and everyone - including luminaries such as science fiction writer Isaac Asimov and medical researcher Jonas Salk, who discovered the polio vaccine - has made him one of Hollywood's leading producers. But it is also an invitation for all of us to embrace our curiosity to become better leaders, better creators, better managers, even better romantic partners.--Inside front cover
