brings together the moments from How I Write in 2025 that have
stayed with me the longest. These are the clips I revisit when I
need to be reminded why writing matters. Robert Macfarlane talks
about wonder as something you have to actively protect. Jayne Anne
Phillips explains why the memories we keep from childhood reveal
who we are. Paul Harding makes the case for aiming higher than
feels comfortable and learning from the writers who shaped
you.Henrik Karlsson shows what it means to really look at the world
instead of getting trapped in your own words. Alain de Botton
reveals how the news narrows our thinking. Lulu Cheng Meservey
talks about writing that feels alive rather than polished to death
and Mitch Albom tells a story that shows why storytelling is a
craft of emotion as much as technique. And then there is poetry.
Dana Gioia and David Whyte both treat poems as part of a life,
something to memorize, perform, and return to when everything feels
confusing or heavy. This episode is a reminder that writing is not
just about words. It is about attention, courage, honesty, and the
way we make sense of being alive. Hey! I’m David Perell and I’m a
writer, teacher, and podcaster. I believe writing online is one of
the biggest opportunities in the world today. For the first time in
human history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global
audience. I seek to help as many people publish their writing
online as possible. Follow me Apple:
