Each Tuesday, he learns from Morrie, his that he needs to reassess his life, and to value love over money, and happiness over success. Morrie Schwartz - 60-70 year old male.

He had taught sociology at Brandeis, and continues to teach it to Mitch, instructing him on The Meaning of Life, and how to accept death and aging. After a childhood in which affection was largely absent, he thrives on physical contact as a baby would. He has a passion for dancing and music, and is quick to cry, especially since the onset of his disease. He does not suffocate his emotions, but shares them openly, and rejects the popular cultural norms in favor of creating his own system of beliefs. Mitch portrays him as a man of ultimate wisdom. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morries appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrigs Disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life.
