It is a book, with a lasting effect. It has kept me productively and creatively engaged, ever since I began reading it. And now that it is about to end, I don't want it to end. The content is good, and me being a teacher myself, much reflective. The book's main character is Professor Schartz, suffering from ALS, who is about to die. However, just before he dies, the world has much to learn from his death and Mitch Albom, his former student helps him do so, by writing his last thesis.
