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

by Mitch Albom

October 8, 2002 | Trade Paperback

Itâ??s been ten years since Mitch Albom first shared the wisdom of Morrie Schwartz with the world. Nowâ??twelve million copies laterâ??in a new afterword, Mitch Albom reflects again on the meaning of Morrieâ??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 â??classâ?: 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.

    Didn't like it at all

    Lavina Ibrahim

    11 months ago

    This book was very boring to read. I believe the wisdom in this book could be summarized to 2 pages only. I felt that there was a lot of unnecessary filler material just to make the book longer. it's a book about a student who loved his professor and at the end i felt like "why do i have to know about how much you loved your professor?" ... I'm sorry but i didn't like this book at all, very slow and boring.

    Tuesdays with Morrie is a book you gift to anyone who needs to appreciate life just a little bit more. :)

    You will learn to love Morrie and as you turn the pages, you wish the book was a little bit bigger so you could spend a little bit more time with the characters as you go through it rather quickly.

    Simply one of the great reads and I promise it will make you look at life very very differently.

    Enjoy and pass the book onto your friends and family.

    Intriguing

    Robert Augustine

    I found this book to be very intriguing. It also makes you think about how you can change your life if, you are not happey with the direction or path that you are taking, or have chosen. This book also made me feel inspired, a bit becasue of Morrie's attitude with his illness, and how stronge he was to keep on fighting on right up to the end of his life. For me it was a very touching, and meaningful kinda got you by the heart story. If you like this kind of story then you will love this book just like I did.

    Along with "the Last Lecture", one of 2 books I could read over and over again without getting tired of it. Each time coming away with a renewed dedication to focusing on what is truly important in life. Many life lessons enclosed - some basic - but easily forgotten in day to day life. I wish I knew Morrie, although you'll feel like you do when you read it. A wonderfully intelligent, frank, witty and humorous character. One of few books I would recommend to anyone and everyone to read, essential for caregivers and palliative care workers. Initially I discovered it when assigned a chapter in a Palliative Care class in university. It made the textbook and lecture teachings of end of life care for both the person dying and caregivers seem real. It changed many views on the process of dying in that class, and how it should be handled. That one assigned chapter had such a strong impact that I kept it in my mind until years later when I finally saw the book again and read the whole thing...and then read it again. If you ever look back and think "I wish I knew then what I know now" and wonder what you'll think in the future about your life now - read Morrie- he knows!

    Not my normal fantasy book I like, but this book was still pretty good. It really opens your eyes and your heart. Most people said I would cry, but I didn't. I don't know

    Ain't Morrie Sweet

    Tomato Rodriguez

    This was definitely a good book, but I was a little disappointed. I thought I'd be more attached to Morrie and Mitch's story, but I wasn't. It was interesting to see what Morrie's teachings were to his old student, but I have to say that I've heard those ideals from other sources and even thought some of them myself; I think that's why I wasn't as flabbergasted with the book as I may have been had I not previously known a lot of the content.

    Tuesdays with Morrie was a beautiful read, Definitely one of the most ispirational books i've ever read. Morrie was full of so much wisdom and compassion, it was truly touching. I think everyone can learn a littlle from Morrie Schwartz and his look on life and death. I would recommened this book to anyone. It was such an easy but great read, and it is one of the few books i've read in one sitting because i just couldn't put it down. I was in tears by the end, and was left moved and inspired. This book will make you laugh and cry. If you haven't read 'Tuesdays with Morrie' yet, then you should get it now, this is a book that shouldn't be missed.

    Like many others here, I enjoyed this book. Some people said it was preachy, and I can see how people could see it that way, but to me it was fine. The book reminds us what is wrong with the world today, and is about focusing on what is most important - loving and connecting with other people.

    I really enjoy Mitch Albom's books. I think that sometimes we focus on all things material and we truly lose focus of what is important in life; this book reminds you how important family and relationships are.

    Tuesdays with Morrie is a memoir written by Mitch Albom. It is the story of Mitch's university professor (Morrie) who is facing a gruelling death, yet deems himself lucky and still alive despite the ticking clock. It is said that we don't know the meaning of life until we are near death. The book is full of Morrie's life lessons that transcend all religions as we are all human. Death seems to bring us closer together somehow.

    Tuesdays with Morrie is an easy read that is rich with life lessons. It is one of those books that should be forever kept on the bedside table or resting on the bookshelf with the cover facing forward as a reminder to be read and reread again. I highly recommend this book.

    Have You Met Morrie?

    Jinyoung Lee

    3 years ago

    There are many things in life that we take for granted. Among those things are death, aging, relationships and even love. Morrie, who is a professor, shares about these universal concepts by sharing his abundant life experiences. Through unexpected circumstances, Mitch becomes Morrie's last student, thus beginning a series of conversations between a dying professor and a reluctant student. The classroom is Morrie's living room, cluttered with life support fixtures and a small hibiscus plant; the syllabus is on life.

    Morrie has a character of optimism, humility and he knows how to enjoy life to the fullest. However, there is one thing that is not quite right; he has less than one year to live.

    As Morrie opens up his life, he teaches Mitch how to accept death as a natural process. He displays vulnerability, love, humor and timeless principles on the art of living.

    Mitch, as well as the reader gets a refreshed outlook on life as we reflect on how Morrie has lived his own. If you are trapped in the routine of daily living or struggling with relationships or you simply want a warm, touching book to read with a cup of coffee, I introduce you to meet Morrie!

    Enjoy.

    What a truly inspiring man Morrie Schwartz was. I found myself making a list of "Morrieisms" to look back at when I am feeling low. I can also finally say that a book made me shed a tear. With a clearer outlook on the beauty of what can be this life, I am now aware of the strong tension of opposites that have been apparent throughout mine. Morrie was right when he said, "Love always wins." Everyone should read this book.

    There's only one word that comes to mind when trying to describe this book: beautiful. Mitch Albom is an amazing writer and this memoir is absolutely touching. It's heart-breaking and inspirational, depressing and uplifting all at once. I absolutely loved it.
