Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson

Upon learning of his former college professor and mentor's impending death, Mitch Albom--award-winning sportswriter, New York Times bestselling author, and TV commentator--visited Morrie Schwartz every week. Tuesdays with Morrie is Albom's extraordinary chronicle of their time together, a book filled with laughter, sadness, joy and peace. nMaybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. nFor Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. n nMaybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? n nMitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final class: lessons in how to live. n nTuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.n
