Tuesdays With Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man And Life's Greatest Lesson

by Mitch Albom

Diversified Publishing | May 18, 2010 | Trade Paperback

It's been ten years since Mitch Albom first shared the wisdom of Morrie Schwartz with the world. Now-twelve million copies later-in a new afterword, Mitch Albom reflects again on the meaning of Morrie's life lessons and the gentle, irrevocable impact of their Tuesday sessions all those years ago. . .

_____

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn''t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man''s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie''s lasting gift with the world.

    When my Religion teacher told me to read it, I figured, yea, whatever, textbook. Not at all. This story is absolutely marvellous. You have to read it to understand how saddening, and uplifitin all at once that it can be. It's just so intense and Morrie's views are so inspirarional that by the end I was crying on the train home, when I finished it. I didn't care. It touches on the most important thing in the world: compassion.
