On this episode of Connecting the Dots, we sit down with Pulitzer Prize Winner and celebrated New York Times journalist, Nicholas Kristof. We discuss Kristof's new book, co-authored with his wife Sheryl WuDunn, Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope. Our conversation covered issues of economic inequality and social injustices in modern America, as well as the empathy gap affecting its citizens. We also dive into Kristof's professional (and serendipitous) journey, from a keen young journalist to an esteemed author and renowned advocate for social justice.
