"Everybody is a story-teller...we make sense of our lives through stories" - Mohsin Hamid - Episode 46
Mohsin Hamid was born in Lahore, Pakistan in 1971 - and having degrees from Princeton University and then Harvard Law School, he soon realised that practicing Law was not meant for him. Mohsin Hamid is the author of four novels -- Moth Smoke, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, and Exit West -- and a book of essays, Discontent and Its Civilizations.
His writing has been translated into forty languages, featured on bestseller lists, and adapted for the cinema.
In this podcast Mohsin talks about his journey from Law to Corporates to Pen to thoughts and to words. He shares his love for being amongst people, from having great conversations to spending time alone with his thoughts and edits. He also shares with us his intentional disconnect with social media, how he manages the immediacy of his attention, and he loves showing up for "work"
Mohsin beautifully describes his key learnings of being a writer, his relationship with words and his relationship with vulnerability.
