Maybe 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.
For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college
professor from nearly twenty years ago.
Maybe, 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?
Mitch 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.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together,
through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the
world.
