About the author

Author, screenwriter, philanthropist, journalist, and broadcaster Mitch Albom is an inspiration around the world. His fiction and non-fiction books — which include 8 #1 New York Times bestsellers — have collectively sold 42 million copies worldwide in 48 languages. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, the bestselling memoir of all time, topped the list for four straight years and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022. He has also written Emmy Award-winning TV films, stage plays, screenplays, a nationally syndicated newspaper column, and a musical. Through his work at the Detroit Free Press, he was inducted into both the National Sports Media Association and Michigan Sports halls of fame and was the recipient of the Red Smith Award for lifetime achievement.

Following his bestselling memoir FINDING CHIKA and HUMAN TOUCH, a web and audio weekly serial that raised funds for pandemic relief, he returned to fiction with the bestselling novels THE STRANGER IN THE LIFEBOAT and THE LITTLE LIAR. His much-anticipated new novel is a stunning love story about magical second chances called TWICE, which dares to explore how our unchecked desires might mean losing what we’ve had all along.

Albom spends the majority of his time in philanthropic work. In 2006, he founded the nonprofit SAY Detroit, which provides pathways to success for Detroiters in need through major health, housing and education initiatives. All profits from an original dessert shop and a gourmet popcorn line also help fund the nonprofit. He operates Have Faith Haiti, a home and school for impoverished children and orphans, in Port-au-Prince, which he visits monthly. He lives with his wife, Janine, in Michigan.

Beautiful, beautiful!! What a true and in-depth reality of the beautiful lessons of a real person. Morrie IS and will forever be a teacher. I hope you share this book and these views with many generations and many more to come to show an eye opening and rewarding way to live. To love. To find peace and happiness. I very much enjoyed this book. And will think of Morrie and Mitch many times over. I’m sharing this with my children that haven’t yet read this in school and will be giving my granddaughter a copy when she’s 12, a reminder at 14, 17 and again at 21. In hopes that they all will forever remember to not get caught up in the way the world is trying to condition them today and in the future.

What an incredible, inspirational little book. I’m so glad I finally read this book about an old man, a young, and the lessons they shared while Mitch was in college, and more importantly as Morrie was dying. It’s a true story, and I do see myself reading this soulful book again soon & recommending it to everyone who will listen. Mitch Albom is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine. This is my second book of his that I’ve read.
