THE CONVERSATION: John Tierney, Writer

John Tierney, Writer

Herewith, the opening remarks of John Tierney, formerly of the New York Times and now a contributor to City Journal, at the launch of our book, Against the Great Reset in the fall of 2022. That event coincided with the peak hysteria surrounding Covid-19, a "pandemic" of which we were highly skeptical from the start.

Tierney is the coauthor, with the social psychologist Roy Baumeister, of The Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Rules Us and How We Can Rule It and Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. During more than two decades at the New York Times, he was a science columnist, an Op-Ed columnist, and a staff writer for the New York Times Magazine. His articles have been published in dozens of newspapers and magazines, and his books have been translated into more than twenty languages.
