Incredibly poignant and inspiring, this is a book that is a MUST READ for all. Don't let the cover or the small size of the book fool you, each chapter is filled with words of wisdom, philosophy, and truth. This book is able to state the complexities in life with simple meanings based on death, fears, family, age, love, and compassion. You will not regret reading Tuesdays with Morrie, the lessons are something you will carry on for the rest of your life. Best book I have ever read, and truly expanded my perspectives on life.
