Who is Mitch Albom?

Albom was born in Passaic, New Jersey and briefly lived in Buffalo, New York before moving back to New Jersey as a child, where he attended a synagogue led by Rabbi Albert L. Lewis, the subject of his book, Have a Little Faith. After attending high schools in New Jersey and Philadelphia, including Akiba Hebrew Academy in Lower Merion, Albom went on to Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts to earn a bachelor’s degree in sociology. Pursuing his dream to become a musician, he worked after graduation for several years in nightclubs in the US and Europe. He discovered an aptitude for writing and eventually returned to graduate school, earning a Masters degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, followed by an MBA from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business.

In 1995, he married Janine Sabino. They live in suburban Detroit, Michigan.

Mitch Albom quotes

"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else."

"All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."

"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

"When you look into your mother's eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this Earth."

"Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone."

"Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future."

"Dying is only one thing to be sad over... Living unhappily is something else."

"Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know."

"The truth is, part of me is every age. I'm a three-year-old, I'm a five-year-old, I'm a thirty-seven-year-old, I'm a fifty-year-old. I've been through all of them, and I know what it's like. I delight in being a child when it's appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it's appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own."
