Irrational Man

When a brilliant but burned-out professor, who believes in lessons from life rather than textbooks, takes a job at a small college, everyone there is abuzz. He becomes involved with a teacher as well as a precocious student, but it takes a dramatic, existential act to turn his life around and make him see the world through a much rosier and more positive perspective.
