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.</p><br><p>Andrew Ross Sorkin<strong>&nbsp;</strong>is a financial columnist for&nbsp;<em>The New York Times</em>&nbsp;and a co-anchor of CNBC's&nbsp;<em>Squawk Box.</em>&nbsp;He is also the founder and editor of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/section/business/dealbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DealBook</a>, a financial news service published by&nbsp;<em>The New York Times</em>.
