A philanthropist, columnist, and sports reporter, Mitch Albom’s books have sold over 35 million copies in over 40 languages. His breakthrough work, Tuesdays with Morrie, became an international phenomenon; for his Harris Center lecture he returns to discussing the afterlife and his latest fictional work, The Next Person You Meet In Heaven.

In the follow-up to his most popular novel ever, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, he reminds us that not only does every life matter, but that every ending is also a beginning.
