Morrie Schwartz spent the final months of his life meeting with a former student, conversations that became a worldwide bestseller after his death. A sociology professor at Brandeis University, he taught for decades before being diagnosed with ALS, a progressive disease that gradually robbed him of movement. His former student, journalist Mitch Albom, wrote about their visits in Tuesdays with Morrie, published in 1997. Schwartz also discussed his illness in televised interviews with Ted Koppel.
