Description
After having a wake-up call to how short life really is, Mitch realized he needed to make the most of how he spent his time. He didn't want to spend his life doing things that didn't matter or working jobs that he despised; rather, he wanted to enjoy life and make a difference in the lives of people. As he began to change his view on life, he went back to school for his masters. He was reunited with a professor that had very little time to live due to a rapid-spreading neurological disease. His professor, Morrie, held his final class at home from his bed. This book tells of the lessons Mitch learned from his wise professor as he taught his final lessons. Lessons about virtue, family, money, and so many other life skills. This is an inspiring and helpful read, giving the reader a glimpse of being in the presence of a wise man with a bright mind, but held captive by a withering body. 201 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Tuesdays With Morrie
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.
