 | Tuesdays with Morrie by Catherine Coulter, Mitch Albom
In TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, sportswriter and best-selling author Mitch Albom chronicles his weekly conversations with his former college professor and mentor, Morrie Schwartz, in the months before the Brandeis University sociologist succumbed to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Their Tuesday conversations ranged widely over basic human concerns--love, money, commitment, spirit, how people spend their days thinking and doing, and what really matters in the world. In what the publisher is calling 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. AUTHOR: Catherine Coulter, Mitch Albom
