Nobody, really, except the man who is on his death bed waiting to die, but still persistent in teaching his student a few more lessons before he dies.

After all, who better to learn from than a man who has been there, seen it all and - most importantly - has the intellectual means to put it all into perspective and share his story? What followed then was described by both men as Mitch’s final thesis - as he spent the last few months of Morrie’s life with the old man, learning about life’s greatest lessons and documenting them into what became the book, ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’.Īs every Tuesday Mitch would visit Morrie, the old fellow would inspire and inform Mitch with lessons he had garnered throughout his life. And because life happens, the two drifted apart after Mitch graduated from school, but nearly twenty years later, they were reunited when Mitch learned, quite by chance, that Morrie had fallen prey to a disease from which there was no return. It tells the true story of Mitch Albom, a journalist who was very close to his college professor, Morrie Schwartz. The whole book is a true account of a wonderful professor giving out anecdotes of life as he walks towards his inevitable disease and succumbs to it. Tuesdays with Morrie is definitely a book that’ll stay with you longer than you can imagine. That’s when one day searching through the wormhole of books in the library, I stumbled across ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ by Mitch Albom.

Not only had it become monotonous, but it seemed to have lost purpose and direction. Working every day without breaks, life was getting miserable. “ Once you learn to die, you learn how to live”
