The book a wonderful quick read full of stories of Brian's quest to meet and interview people, like Oprah, Issac Asimov, Condoleeza Rice and Jonas Salk.
His main message: Asking questions can change your life. Of course to get to the asking questions part, it helps if you don't take no for an answer.
Here's Brian talking a little about curiosity:
One of the reasons I started this blog was to have a place online to explore. It's led me to meet people I would never have met include cast and crew members from The Closer & Major Crimes, authors I admire and we've visited wonderful places we might otherwise not have made time to visit. This book has inspired me to take that kind of thinking to the next level. I'm not sure what that means from a practical standpoint yet, but stay tuned.
What are you curious about?
