Summary
2016 Audie Award Finalist for Business/Personal Development
From Academy Award-winning 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.
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, 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 audiobook - and its lessons on the power of curiosity - can change your life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Repetitive
It is fine to use repetition to highlight a point, but when every other sentence in the book starts with "curiosity" it is too much. I was also more curious about the actual meetings Brian had, than I was about the circumstances of setting those up.

Extraordinary
The book written from the perspective of a person who gain loads of life perspectives from highly respected people. An antidote to mediocrity , lack of direction and loneliness , curiosity!
Life story of Brian shows the reader the path to bigger life by fulfilling desire.
I’m just like the author dyslexic and always “suffered” with ever persistent voyage to find the answers to small and enormous questions. I never really truly appreciated the potential of my counterintuitive gift.
First day I grasped the concept I noticed people react to me with similar level of curiosity as I suddenly started projecting towards them resulting in deeper connections in the mater of minutes. Curiosity is truly the way to bigger life !
Thank you Brian 🧨

An interesting and inspiring listen
An interesting and inspiring listen for sure, I would absolutely recommend. Love and agree with the argument that curiosity is hugely underrated or at least hugely neglected in too many way.
A tad self indulgent perhaps with lots of 'me, me, me' and 'I, I, I' but ultimately a strong reason for that, example.
I would recommend to most.

More than a bit self-indulgent
Stories were mildly interesting and loosely tied to the apparent message - curiosity gets you places.
