![]() ![]() After watching Professor Morrie Schwartz’s interview on TV, Albom calls him, and his old Professor is glad to reconnect. Mitch Albom is a columnist for the sports section in Detroit Free Press in 1995. And like most of us, he too got lost in ‘making’ a life. On the graduation day, as he parted from his professor, he made promises of keeping in touch. Professor Morrie Schwartz had been a guide and mentor to Mitch Albom in his college days. And then just happens to see his professor’s interview on television. ![]() ![]() He is living the exact expected way, fulfilling the societal and professional perquisites. ![]() The beauty of the book lies in the fact that Mitch isn’t actively seeking solutions to a mid-life crisis. Life’s greatest lessons imply the teacher’s knowledge on life and death as he awaits his end. On the cover, just below the title it says, ‘ an old man, a young man and life’s greatest lesson.’ Yes, ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ is a philosophical discourse between a teacher and his student from a decade and a half back. This autobiographical book based on Mitch Albom’s visits to his terminally ill Professor has been popular in the self-help genre since its publication in 1997. I came to ‘ Tuesdays with Morrie’ by Mitch Albom when I was searching for a book with deeper philosophical connotations. ![]()
