Do you ever feel like the world, the country, your neighborhood and even your workplace, are all going in a cultural direction that you don’t always feel comfortable with? What do you do? How do you buck the trend? How do you go against the tide and stand up without the fear of being ridiculed or made fun of? In today’s episode, we discuss Morrie’s belief that, “If you don’t like the culture, don’t buy it.” It’s as pertinent today as it was when Morrie uttered these words over 20 years ago. From the culture of celebrity we face today, to the obsession with divisive politics, all of these are part of a cultural environment that sometimes we don’t feel we’re a part of. Join Mitch and Lisa to find out how to follow your own heart and stay true to yourself.

Perhaps the most important lesson Mitch Albom learned from his beloved professor, Morrie Schwartz, was the importance of giving to others. Mitch once asked Morrie why, instead of trying to help people, he didn't just accept their sympathy, since he was facing imminent death. "Mitch," Morrie answered, "why would I take like that? Taking makes me feel like I’m dying. Giving makes me feel like I’m living.” In today’s episode we discuss how your life, your happiness and sadness, your relationships, even your sense of purpose can all be changed by looking to give of yourself before looking to take.

In 1975, a young Mitch Albom, a freshman student at Brandeis University, walked into a sociology class taught by Morrie Schwartz. After seeing that there were only 9 students in the classroom, Mitch sized up the situation and - thinking that the class was much too small - turned to head out of the classroom. With one foot out the door, Morrie began to take roll. “Albom” being at the beginning of the alphabet, was the first name called by professor Schwartz. Mitch turned around, slinked back into the classroom, and so began a relationship that would not only change both of their lives, but the lives of millions of others along the way.
