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

Maybe it was a grandparent, a teacher, or a colleague—someone older, patient, and wise who understood you when you were young and searching, offering the sound advice you needed to navigate the world. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years prior. Like many of us, Mitch lost track of his mentor as life took over, and the vital insights he once shared began to fade.

But Mitch got a rare second chance. Reconnecting with Morrie in the final months of the older man's life, Mitch discovered his beloved professor was dying of ALS (motor neurone disease). Seeking answers to the bigger questions that still haunted him, Mitch began visiting Morrie in his study every single Tuesday, just as they used to do back in college. Their rekindled relationship quickly evolved into one final "class": a weekly seminar filled with profound lessons on how to truly live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical, deeply moving chronicle of their time together, capturing Morrie’s enduring wisdom and serving as a lasting gift of hope and perspective for the entire world.
