Deep Questions with Cal Newport

Ep. 67: TIM HARFORD on Leaving Academia to Become a Bestselling Writer


Listen Later

In today's episode I interview bestselling author Tim Harford. We talk about his path from economics to writing and broadcasting, his thoughts on using data to make sense of the world (without getting tricked), and his experience working for Malcolm Gladwell's podcasting company.

Thanks to Jay Kerstens for the intro music.
