How do you stay locked in on one project for eight years? Andrew Ross Sorkin shares what he learned while writing his bestselling book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History and How It Shattered a Nation in today’s conversation with Ryan. They talk about what it really takes to write a massive, deeply researched book while juggling a demanding career and family life. Andrew opens up about the fear, insecurity, and obsession that fueled his eight year journey into the world of 1929. Ryan and Andrew get into why writing still feels hard for him, the surprising reality of how much of history comes down to human behavior, and the strange process of trying to understand people who lived a century ago.

There’s so much happening in the world, and so much of it feels terrible. There is dysfunction. There is conflict. There is outright lawlessness. There is corruption. There is cruelty. But there’s a really easy way to feel better.
