The Secret to a Bigger Life

By: Brian Grazer, Charles Fishman, Brian Grazer - introduction

Narrated by: Norbert Leo Butz, Steven Weber

In this specially combined edition with a new foreword, Academy Award–winning producer Brian Grazer and acclaimed author Charles Fishman blend their insights from bestselling books A Curious Mind and Face to Face to transform the art of connecting with and through curiosity.

In A Curious Mind, deemed “a captivation account of how the simple act of asking questions can change your life” by Malcolm Gladwell, Grazer offers a brilliant peek into the “curiosity conversations” that inspired him to create some of the world’s most iconic movies and television shows. He shows how curiosity has been the “superpower” that fueled his rise as one of Hollywood’s leading producers and creative visionaries.

And in the captivating follow-up Face to Face, Grazer reveals that the secret to a more fulfilling life lies in personal connections, sparked through curiosity, learning through his interactions with people like Taraji P. Henson, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Eminem, and Prince.

Now with a new foreword with fresh insights about curiosity from the last decade, A Curious Mind Expanded invites you to consider your personal journey of human connection. A fascinating page-turner, this combined edition offers a blueprint for how we can awaken our own curiosity and use it as a superpower in our own lives.

Great advice

Brian Grazer's account of the important role of curiosity in life and business is brilliant. Much of success in life and business comes from serendipitous meetings and conversations. The book also covers the importance of communication at a tactile level we do not usually hear. Brian's willingness to be courageously rejected again and again led to many of his best curiosity conversations and films. I am glad he tenaciously persevered to create one of my favorite films--American Gangster.

Lots of anecdotes, little substance

Have great opportunities available, use them, and ask a lot of questions. I just saved you 10 hours.
