TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE (EXPORT) (A FORMAT)
Most of us have had someone like that in our lives. An older figure, calm and perceptive, who seemed to understand us before we even understood ourselves. A teacher, perhaps, or a grandparent, whose quiet guidance helped us find our footing during the uncertain years. For Mitch Albom, that figure was Morrie Schwartz, a college professor he'd studied under nearly two decades before. Life, as it tends to do, pulled them apart. The wisdom faded into background noise. But Albom was given something rare: a second chance. He found Morrie again during the final months of his life, as the older man faced a terminal diagnosis of ALS (motor neurone disease). Each Tuesday, Albom returned to Morrie's study, just as he had done as a student. What grew from those visits was, in its own quiet way, one last course, with life and how to face it as the subject. This book is Albom's account of those Tuesday sessions, written with a warmth that lingers long after the final page. It's a slim volume, but it carries surprising weight. Morrie's reflections on love, loss, ageing, and what actually matters feel earned rather than rehearsed. You'll come away from it thinking about the people you've drifted from, and perhaps the questions you've never quite found the courage to ask.
