Mitch Albom
"The sportswriter who went back to class — and wrote down how to live."
Mitch Albom was born in New Jersey in 1958 and became one of America’s most-read sportswriters at the Detroit Free Press. A Brandeis student of Morrie Schwartz, he returned in 1995 for a Tuesday ritual that became Tuesdays with Morrie — a last class on love, death, and how to live while you still have time.

Key Ideas & Recurring Themes
The Tuesday classroom
Protect a repeating hour with one person. The class is showing up, not waiting for a perfect mood.
Learn how to die
Treat the end as a fact that clarifies the week. Fake emergencies get quieter; love gets louder.
Detach
Feel the emotion fully, then let it pass. Do not build a house in a weather system.
