Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is a bestselling memoir chronicling the author's weekly visits with his former sociology professor who is dying of ALS. On How I Write, David Perell brought up the memoir while discussing storytelling and its historical status as a massive commercial success. Bill Browder appeared as a guest on the podcast and described how giving a copy of the book to his future wife during their courtship helped warm her heart through various challenges. Author Mitch Albom also appeared on the show to discuss the creation of the book, noting that it was originally intended simply to help pay medical bills for his old professor rather than become a major commercial hit. Albom detailed his writing process for the memoir, explaining how he consulted other accounts of dying individuals, struggled extensively with the opening chapters, and intentionally kept the physical format small, a design choice that carried over into his subsequent books.
