A CURIOUS MIND
The Secret to a Bigger Life
From Academy Award–nominated film and TV producer Brian Grazer and acclaimed business journalist Charles Fishman comes a 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.
Brian Grazer is evangelical about the ways in which curiosity can transform your career and your business. For decades 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. 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.
Brian Grazer is the producer of numerous films and TV shows including ?Apollo 13, Splash, Arrested Development and many more. His films and TV shows have been nominated for forty-three Academy Awards and 131 Emmys. In 2007, he was named one of Time‘s 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Charles Fishman is the acclaimed author of THE WAL-MART EFFECT and THE BIG THIRST. He is a regular contributor to Fast Company and a three-time winner of the Gerald Loeb Award, the most prestigious prize in business journalism.
Together, they have written a book with broad appeal to business readers and anyone who wants to find success in their life.
Simon & Schuster has unveiled the cover image for Brian Grazer’s A CURIOUS MIND: The Secret to a Bigger Life, designed exclusively for the book by celebrated artist Jeff Koons.
Of the Koons image, Grazer said “When we began discussing a design for the jacket of my book, Jeff Koons was the first person I thought of. His pieces have always spoken to me – they are suffused with positivity. My curiosity conversation with him was one of the earliest and most memorable I’ve had, and I remember being especially struck by how generous and genuinely interested he was, in everything. Curiosity is a very natural thing for him – it is the foundation of his work, and his energy as a human being. When you look at the simple sketch he came up with, it has so much life and personality, and there is a celebratory quality to it, a quality that has driven so many of the people I have spoken with over the years, and that I hope my book might help inspire in others.”
