Author: Schwartz, Morrie

For everyone who enjoyed Mitch Albom's best-seller Tuesdays with Morrie, here is a new edition of Morrie's own book, presenting the philosophy by which he triumphantly lived and died. For decades Professor Schwartz taught his Brandeis University students the importance of community and involvement in life. As amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease) gradually weakened him, he appeared on three memorable "Nightline" programs with Ted Koppel. Before he died, Morrie finished writing this book, which he saw as his greatest teaching opportunity. 144 pp.
