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.
