Morrie teaches Mitch how to be a friend—without reservations, without limit, without any hesitation—and as Mitch learns how to be a friend, so do we. Morrie's friendship touches many people in the last few months of his life, and it touches Mitch so deeply that he's written a book about it. Wondering how to be the best friend ever? Well take notes as you read, then. Morrie shows us the way.
