Face to Face: The Art of Human Connection (ePub)

Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer sees the ability to establish a sincere connection with anyone as the main component of his success. By giving us a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at some of his most iconic films and TV shows, he aims to convey a simple message to readers: we are too immersed in our gadgets and lose touch with interesting people and their experiences. In his book, Grazer recalls how personal meetings with the most famous and influential people of our time revolutionized his life. A talented storyteller, he presents the reader with stories that are intriguing and dramatic. About how he met with two American presidents, but could not get a meeting with Putin, even while in the Kremlin's waiting room. How he made Bill Gates look up from his phone. How I found an approach to the gloomy introvert Eminem. How he fired and brought back the best screenwriter in Hollywood. And many, many more interesting stories. Each of them is the key to the tremendous success that Brian Grazer has achieved through interaction with all these people. He believes that only when we stand face to face, when we are able to look into each other's eyes, can we form the kinds of connections that expand our worldview, deepen our self-awareness, and ultimately lead to our greatest achievements. Lift your eyes, look at the person in front of you, and open the door to endless possibilities.
