The Journey from Art History to Bestselling Author

Michael Lewis reflects on his transition from studying art history at Princeton to becoming a successful writer. Despite not having prior writing experience, he discovered his passion for storytelling during a thesis project. His early rejection attempts included submitting pieces to magazines, with his start in writing about destitution in New York oddly ending up at Delta in-flight magazine. Venturing into financial storytelling on Wall Street as a volunteer at the Bowery Mission led to his profound career trajectory.
