Bestselling author Mitch Albom was recently asked to speak at his nephew's high school graduation from a small school in Nice, France. Although it is something he rarely does, he agreed. On a Friday afternoon, in a small auditorium far from home, Albom created a memorable testament to what we know and what we need to learn. In his passionate, touching and frequently funny address, he warned the class of 2008 of the many things they should watch out for in life, from sushi at airports to religions that advertise in the back of magazines.

But he also cautioned them to avoid feeling so special that it led to a superiority complex, and to be wary of speed, which he called "the enemy of your generation." Full of insight and sage humor, Albom's speech is an inspiring call to action that will appeal to people of all ages.

Albom will donate all proceeds from the sale of this speech to S.A.Y. Detroit, a non-profit charity he founded which distributes money to homeless shelters in Detroit for brick-and-mortar projects specifically designed to help those most in need.

Mitch Albom is the author of the international bestsellers Tuesdays With Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and For One More Day, as well as six other books. He also writes screenplays and stage plays. Albom serves on numerous charitable boards, and has founded three charities in the Detroit area. Albom lives with his wife, Janine, in Michigan.
