For this class no books are needed, the lessons are taught from experience. After the show Mitch travels to West Newton to say goodbye to his ‘coach’, as he used to call Morrie, not knowing that this visit will be the start of the last class Morrie will ever teach once a week by a window in his home study, discussing ‘the Meaning of life’. One of his many visitors is Mitch, a former student who accidentally hears about the circumstances of his old professor when Ted Koppel of ABC-tv’s Nightline interviews Morrie for the first time*. Despite this horrible disease Morrie focuses on the little joys that are left in his life, he surrounds himself with the people he loves and feels blessed for having the time to say goodbye. Morrie’s body is getting weaker every day. Unfortunately Morrie has ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and knows the end of his life is nearing. This book is the final thesis Mitch Albom writes for his old professor Morrie Schwartz. That’s how Morrie came into my life, and I’m sure he’ll never leave. I bought the book and read it within just a couple of hours. Written by Mitch Albom, published by DoubledayĪ friend warmly recommended Tuesdays with Morrie to me, he said it’s one of the most wonderful and inspiring books he’d ever read. Tuesdays with Morrie Tuesdays with Morrie – an old man, a young man and life’s greatest lesson
