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, and 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. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease -, Morrie visited 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. This is a chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

Reviewed by Jayceen FouillardHere is what I learned in this book Location: - Brandeis University, Massachusetts - Morrie's home in West Newton, Massachusetts Date: - 1979 (when Mitch met Morrie) - 1994-1995 (when Mitch visited Morrie 14 times, every Tuesday) Time: - 1979: Mitch graduated college, visited Morrie before leaving - 1994-1995: Mitch visited Morrie every Tuesday, 3 pm, for 14 weeks What happened: - Mitch learned life lessons from his professor Morrie - Morrie suffered from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) - Mitch visited Morrie before his death, learning about life's meaning. And the one quote that hits home in here is when he says “ Death doesn’t end a relationship ONLY a life “ I felt that deeply
