The first novel in six years by the bestselling author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People you meet in Heaven tackles one of the central mysteries of human experience – Time.
Time. We have smartphones to navigate it, programs to manage it, an atomic clock to measure it. And still it remains our greatest obsession. As he has in previous books on love, faith, and dying, Mitch Albom takes on our biggest daily struggle in his new book, The Time Keeper.
Ever since his classic Tuesdays with Morrie, Albom has been fascinated with how we choose to spend our time. As he began working in Haiti two years ago, rebuilding and operating an orphanage, he found himself particularly inspired. There he discovered how time slowed, how its purpose changed, how life moved at a dragging pace, yet was filled with humanity that dwarfed his daily dosage at home. And the idea of The Time Keeper was hatched.
It has been three years since Albom published his last book, the nonfiction Have a Little Faith. Join us at Live Talks Los Angeles as he explores what makes human life an experience unlike any other; how our counting out minutes, days and years has altered our perception of our past and our future, and how it has shaped our present—for better or worse.
