In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom reflects on his experiences writing about wealthy athletes who seem indifferent to the struggles of ordinary people. Despite the excitement and success that came with his career, Mitch finds himself feeling unfulfilled and longing for deeper connections and meaning in life.

Through his conversations with his former professor, Morrie Schwartz, Mitch comes to understand the importance of relationships, compassion, and understanding. He learns that true fulfillment comes from caring for others and engaging meaningfully with life's challenges, rather than pursuing material success alone.
