Face to Face: The Art of Human Connection

Featured on CBS This Morning Squawk Box MSNBC CNN Bloomberg Forbes Fast Company The New York Times and more. “Reading Face to Face is like being a fly on the wall watching Brian Grazer work his magic. Utterly entertaining this is how you become Hollywood’s best producer.” —Malcolm Gladwell author of Talking to Strangers Legendary Hollywood producer and author of the bestselling A Curious Mind Brian Grazer is back with a captivating new book about the life-changing ways we can connect with one another. Much of Brian Grazer’s success—as a #1 New York Times bestselling author Academy Award–winning producer father and husband—comes from his ability to establish genuine connections with almost anyone. In Face to Face he takes you around the world and behind the scenes of some of his most iconic movies and television shows like A Beautiful Mind Empire Arrested Development American Gangster and 8 Mile to show just how much in-person encounters have revolutionized his life—and how they have the power to change yours. With his flair for intriguing stories Grazer reveals what he’s learned through interactions with people like Bill Gates Taraji P. Henson George W. Bush Barack Obama Eminem Prince Spike Lee and the Afghani rapper activist Sonita: that the secret to a bigger life lies in personal connection. In a world where our attention is too often focused downward at our devices Grazer argues that we are missing an essential piece of the human experience. Only when we are face to face able to look one another in the eyes can we form the kinds of connections that expand our world views deepen our self-awareness and ultimately lead to our greatest achievements and most meaningful moments. When we lift our eyes to look at the person in front of us we open the door to infinite possibility.
