Matthew Hussey is a relationship coach and speaker known for offering advice on dating, attraction, and building long-term romantic relationships. Speaking on Modern Wisdom, Hussey compared his own writing to Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, noting how a book about a specific craft can ultimately serve as a guide to life.

Hussey also reflected on books from his past. On The Rich Roll Podcast and The Diary Of A CEO, he recalled reading Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People from his father's bookshelf at age eleven or twelve to learn how to connect with people.
