At the time i wrote the xpecting better, i was at the universy of chicago. The book has become much more successful overtime than it was initioally. I sell many more books now then i did in the first year. Was there a time when you regretted it at all? Like, when you didn't get tenure,. Maybe i should have waited to write this book. maybe i should not have wrtten this book.
Emily Oster is an economist, professor, and author. Her new book is The Family Firm.
”[COVID] has been 18 months of being a person who is slightly more public, who is saying things that are somewhat more controversial, where people yell at me a lot. ... I do much less reading of the comments than I did early on because I found that eventually I just got mad and that's not a productive way to interact. And it affects how I think about what I write, and I would like what I write to be the things that I think are true, not the things I think will avoid people being angry.”
