Guide Review
Sportswriter and best-selling author Mitch Albom chronicles his weekly conversations with his former college professor and mentor, Morrie Schwartz, in the months before he succumbed to Lou Gehrig's disease. Their Tuesday conversations ranged widely over basic human concerns. This "spirituality literature for grown-ups," the author recounts his mentor's final, lasting gift: the wisdom to see his own life as something different than the accretion of fame, money, and success.
