Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
John Tierney built his career at the intersection of reporting, argument, and behavioral science. At Yale, he initially leaned toward mathematics, but a formative encounter with the nonfiction teacher William Zinsser helped redirect him toward writing. That early turn proved decisive. Before he became nationally known, he worked as a newspaper reporter at the Bergen Record and the Washington Star, served on the staff of Science 81-85, contributed to Discover and Health, and freelanced widely for magazines that ranged from Esquire and Newsweek to Rolling Stone. From the start, his work showed the blend that would define him later: analytic curiosity, plainspoken style, and a taste for contrarian questions.
