Curious Mind: The Secret to a Bigger Life
Curious Mind: The Secret to a Bigger Life | Brian Grazer
10 posts | 12 read | 11 to read
From Academy Award winning producer Brian Grazer and acclaimed business journalist Charles Fishman comes the "New York Times" bestselling, brilliantly entertaining peek into the weekly curiosity conversations that have inspired Grazer to create some of America s favorite and iconic movies and television shows from "24" to "A Beautiful Mind." For decades, film and TV producer Brian Grazer has scheduled a weekly curiosity conversation with an accomplished stranger. From scientists to spies, and adventurers to business leaders, Grazer has met with "anyone" willing to answer his questions for a few hours. These informal discussions sparked the creative inspiration behind many of Grazer s movies and TV shows, including "Splash," "24," "A Beautiful Mind," "Apollo 13," "Arrested Development," "8 Mile," "J. Edgar," "Empire," and many others. "A Curious Mind" is a brilliantly entertaining, fascinating, and inspiring homage to the power of inquisitiveness and the ways in which it deepens and improves us. Whether you re looking to improve your management style at work or you want to become a better romantic partner, this book and its lessons on the power of curiosity can change your life."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This shocked me...I wasn't expecting to like this one as much. Shamefully, I just looked at how long it would take to listen to it - worked for my weekly commute. This was an interesting book and I didn't expect to learn about leadership qualities from this one, but it was sprinkled throughout the book. Read/listen to this one!

Mehso-so

Meh. I loved the general idea - always be curious - but overall this was a privileged white guy talking about his privilege.

Ugh. What this guy calls “curiosity” really comes off as “white male privilege”, especially in contrast to the race riots he likes to bring up as background noise. I might have to ditch this one.

Picking back up with audiobooks at work now that the haze of daylight savings has worn off. Not sure about this one, but I needed something that was available (I have so many things on hold!)
