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.

Praise
Praise"This is a sweet book of a man's love for his mentor. It has a stubborn honesty that nourishes the living."--Robert Bly, author of Iron John"A deeply moving account of courage and wisdom, shared by an inveterate mentor looking into the multitextured face of his own death. There is much to be learned by sitting in on this final class."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, coauthor of Everyday Blessings and Wherever You Go, There You Are"All of the saints and Buddhas have taught us that wisdom and compassion are one. Now along comes Morrie, who makes it perfectly plain. His living and dying show us the way."--Joanna Bull, Founder and Executive Director of Gilda's ClubFrom the Hardcover edition.
This book touches me so deeply. Although I wasn't weeping in the end but it certainly brought tears to my eyes.
Morrie was a great man. His views are astonishing, and makes you think deep.
A friend who recommended me to read this book, said that she realised the importance of having no regrets in your life after reading this book. Say sorry when you are meant to, and mean it. Do not leave any bad feelings behind.
I highly recommend this book.
This is a book that forces us to look at our own mortality, and to realise what is important to us. Morrie talks bluntly about money, how "it is not a substitute for tenderness [and love] ...as I'm sitting here dying ... neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have."
This wonderful book is a must read, teaches many lessons, and helps us find a better way of life for ourselves.
from its beautifuil title (does not it just give you a warm feeling?) to the life changing story (a true story that happened to the author, i might add), there is absolutely no reason why you should not read this immortal little book. you will laugh, you will cry, you will learn never to let go
Every now and then a book reminds you of the important things in life and this book is one of them. We often get caught up with everyday life that we forget what’s really important. We may only come to stop and think about what’s important when we’re faced with our own mortality. This book reminds us of our mortality and consider what’s important to us before we waste any more of our lives on trivial matters. A touching and simple read that will touch your soul.
