For fans of: The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride by Joe Siple
It was the sound advice of Morrie Schwartz, Mitch Albom’s college professor, that gave the young writer a profound view of the world. Years later, as that view was waning and Morrie’s insights fading, Albom rekindled his relationship with his old mentor. Every Tuesday, Albom sat in Morrie’s study for lessons on living, all chronicled in one of the most popular inspirational books, 2002’s bestselling fan-favorite, Tuesdays with Morrie.
