Leading with the Heart

In sports, business, and life, there is no better model for success than the Duke University basketball program. With eight Final Four appearances since 1986, including back-to-back national championships in ´91 and ´92, Duke has done it the right way: combined athletic competitiveness with academic achievement, total effort, and personal integrity...all of it thanks to Coach Mike Krzyzewski, affectionately known as "Coach K," and his unique formula for...Leading with the Heart.
 
 

Morrie in His Own Words

Originally published under the title Letting Go, three years ago, this is Morrie Schwartz's enlightened and compassionate philosophy of living, written as he was battling the effects of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Sadly, Morrie died before the book was published. A year later, though, a former student of Morrie's, Mitch Albom, wrote Tuesdays with Morrie, chronicling Morrie's impact on his life. This book is, as the title says, Morrie in his own words, his invaluable legacy to us all.

Tuesdays with Morrie

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.
