Rob Schwartz, son of Morrie Schwartz — the beloved subject of the classic bestseller, Tuesdays with Morrie — will be at the Newton Free Library on May 30, 7PM-8PM, to talk about his recently released book, The Wisdom of Morrie. Before becoming ill with ALS, Morrie wrote a poignant manuscript on aging joyfully and creatively. Rob has edited Morrie’s monograph and added essays, creating a work that Deepak Chopra said is, “Beautiful…Those lucky enough to read this book will be inspired.”
The Wisdom of Morrie is filled with empathic insights, stories, anecdotes, and advice — all told in Morrie’s reassuring, calm and timeless voice. It’s a great companion to Tuesdays with Morrie or introduction to Morrie’s thoughtful philosophies for exploring deep questions of how to live and how to love.
Cosponsored by the City of Newton’s Department of Senior Services, the discussion will be moderated by Oak Hill Middle School Librarian Jean Stehle and followed by a book sale with books provided by Newtonville Books. Space is limited and registration is required.
