About this title

Synopsis

In 1994 at the age of 77, former sociology professor Morrie Schwartz learned he had amyotrohic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease: incurable, progressively disabling, eventually fatal.
Morrie embarked on his greatest teaching adventure: sharing his evolving knowledge of living and dying. Morrie speaks directly to America's fear of illness and difficulty in letting go of life, writing with the compassion and pragmatism only someone who has been there can have.
