"A Curious Mind" by Brian Grazer

I received a copy of "A Curious Mind" by Brian Grazer, through the Goodreads First Reads program.  This was a three hour read but well worth the time.  Based on the premise that curiosity is both an undervalued trait and a key to his personal success, Grazer details his personal history of "curiosity conversations" with famous and/or important people and briefly explains lessons he learned from a select few of these folks.  Very well written, I assume mostly by co-author Charles Fishman, the book is essentially a collection of interesting stories mixed with Grazer's self-help advice.  I found the book light-hearted and fun, and certainly worth the time and effort.  Most importantly, Grazer makes me want to better exercise my curiosity by approaching and meeting new a different people.  In that sense the book is a complete success.  One personal footnote regarding his list of conversations at the end of the book - it contains few literary figures.  Plenty of magazine, newspaper and academic authors, but very light on the heavyweights of modern literature.
