- Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson by Mitch Albom. This is a quick easy read about a man who returns to visit with a college professor for a few weeks before the professor dies. The professor talks about what it is like to die and gives advice to the young professional. The advice centers around the importance of love, family, and not getting caught up in the cares of the world (especially money). Provides an excellent contrast to the common thinking of business students that once they are rich they will be happy. It is a true story.
