A CURIOUS MIND The Secret to a Bigger Life

Narrator Norbert Butz’s performance, full of clarity and assertive interest in his material, makes him sound a lot like the fast-talking, quick-thinking author, a powerful Hollywood producer who’s achieved a lot and wants to share his insights. Glazer uses entertaining stories to make the case that curiosity is a habit that can be cultivated, though it’s often stifled in our culture and in many of our institutions. He says that while curiosity opens doors, it can also be disruptive because it challenges authority and upends bureaucratic silos. More of a memoir than a how-to, this is a fascinating portrait of a colorful man and his approach to the world—a book with a unique type of energy that Butz captures fully.
