Tuesdays with Morrie is the story about one man and one professor. Mitch Albom was once a student of Morrie Schwartz, a professor at Brandeis University in 1979. Mitch, 16 years later, reconnects with Morrie about life lessons. 

This was one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. I would recommend this book to people who need essential life advice from a wise soul!! I liked the parts that Morrie talked about being in love, and love is something that shouldn’t be rushed. It was very eye opening to me.
