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.
