Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

Maybe it was a grandparent, a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood when you were young and impassioned, helped you to see the world as a more profound place and gave you sound advice to guide your way through it. For Mitch Albom, it was Morrie Schwartz, the college professor who taught him nearly twenty years ago. Perhaps, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as the years passed, the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, to ask the more important questions that still haunt you, and receive wisdom for your busy life the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom got that second chance, rediscovering Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Their rekindled relationship turned in one final 'class': lessons on how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together.
