Tuesdays With Morrie

Great book!

Great book..! A must read .

The story itself is engaging, but the book I received seems not original(?). The cover is asymmetric and the color is faded.

This is a beautiful book with a lesson. Read it.

Amazing story

I personally find this overrated and stretched.

Hard bound copy but the cover itself is like a printed paper which is not even glued or attached to the actual hard cover

Read it

Wow just Wow...... From the first page I could not stop turning the pages to soak up the extraordinary story coming through the book. Mitch had a second chance to rediscover a beautiful relationship with his college tutor. He visited him every Tuesday, just like back in college but their time is limited as Morrie is fighting ALS - OR Motor Neurone Disease. This book follow Mitch on a journey a journey he doesn't know he is on, and doesn't know he needs. Both taking you back to his college years and to the present, and giving him the tools for the future. This book touched me so much from the relationship of the two men, to the whole meaning of the whole book! The wise and meaningful discussion had tears rolling down my face. The writing was so powerful, I felt so connected to the characters and the insights of each and ever session they had left me thinking and reflecting on the my life and the world around me. A book that will stay with me for life! 10 out of 10 for me!

Tuesdays with Morrie is one of those rare books that gently breaks your heart while healing it at the same time. It’s a beautiful, deeply moving story about life, death, love, and the things that truly matter. Through the intimate conversations between Mitch Albom and his former professor Morrie Schwartz, we’re reminded of the fragile beauty of being alive and how often we take that for granted. Each chapter carries powerful lessons, not just about facing death, but about how to truly live. The way Morrie speaks about forgiveness, connection, and purpose is both inspiring and humbling. This book made me pause and reflect on how I spend my days and how much I appreciate (or sometimes overlook) the people in my life. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to be more present, grateful, and human. Heartbreaking, yes but in the most enlightening and necessary way.

This is the story of a young man who had been very close with his professor at university, and, although he promised to stay in touch after graduation, he hadn't. Then one night he was channel-hopping, and caught his "coach" on Nightline with Ted Koppel. Morrie Schwartz, a sociology professor at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, was talking about how he was coping with ALS. He told Ted and his audience, . . . when all this started, I asked myself, 'Am I going to withdraw from the world, like most people do, or am I going to live.' I decided I'm going to live — or at least try to live — the way I want, with dignity, with courage, with humor, with composure. And that's what he did! This man who had inspired so many students, had loved music, and loved to dance was slowly losing his muscle control. First, was the need for a cane. Shortly after he was diagnosed, Morrie entered his classroom of 30 years, slowly making his way to the front with his cane, and sat down to tell his students there was a risk in taking his class this term — he might die before it was over. When he attended the funeral of a colleague, using a wheelchair by now, he thought, "What a waste, all those people saying all those wonderful things, and Irv never got to hear any of it." So Morrie gathered some friends and family together one Sunday afternoon for what he called "a living funeral." They laughed, they cried, told stories, and paid tribute, and it was "a rousing success." Mitch made a phone call after watching the Koppel show, and went to pay his "coach" a visit. It was the beginning of what became known to both Mitch and Morrie, as his final course — how one faces death — with a class of one! Mitch retells the story interspersed with flashbacks to memories (chapters in italics) from his childhood, teen years, university life with Morrie, and his post-graduation life until the memories merge with the times he spent on Tuesdays as he watched his coach become more and more dependent, less able to stand the pain, and unable to so much as move his own head an inch or two. Mitch's own life had become one of fevered pace, usually doing 5 things at once, jetting around to cover sports events, writing for newspaper, magazines, and doing television; he knew he was no longer the same student Morrie remembered. But, the affection was still there, and a new chapter began. Despite his approaching death, it seemed to Mitch that Morrie was clear about everything in life that was important, and what was not. Morrie always said Mitch could ask anything, so after his third Tuesday visit, Mitch made a list of things he wanted to get clear about, certain that Morrie would be able to help him find that clarity. He wrote, "Death, Fear, Aging, Greed, Marriage, Family, Society, Forgiveness, A meaningful life." They discussed all this — and religion, and afterlife, being with someone "in the present," and, how to say goodbye. It was an opportunity for Mitch to re-examine his life — choices he made, dreams he bartered away for things. It was a way to say goodbye. This edition marks the 10th anniversary of the first publishing and contains an afterward from Mitch. It has been printed in "dozens of countries . . . and translated into many languages," made into a movie and performed as a stage play; it has become curriculum in many colleges and universities, and can be found in "funeral homes, hospices, churches, [and] synagogues." It is full of wonderful, gentle wisdom — not just for dying, or coping with the death of a loved one, but for living, and for living fully. There are many more things I could tell you about this book, but the main thing is that reading it will inspire you, and bless you. It will enable you to live well.
