This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters: it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? Plus, we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. And finally we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
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.

If you have not read this book, you do not know what you are missing. It is a true story of a man dying of ALS disease and how he conquers each fear to the end. Beautifully written because it is straightforward. Nothing fake. Just two guys talking about general topics of life and searching for the answers. I even bought a copy for my mom. Never miss out on a book like this that can give you perspective and teach forgiveness. I loved it. It made me more humble.

Life, as we know it, is becoming too fast these days. Most people have no time to sit and reflect, just to step back and find out what really matters in life.
"Tuesdays with Morrie" is by far, a masterpiece of Mitch Albom. It's about a mentor and his student. Throughout the book..we get to experience anecdotes and aphorisms by Morrie Schwartz, the mentor.
This book is a keepsake.

This was the first Mitch Albom book I ever read and it did not disappoint. I was shocked to know this guy whom I've seen on ESPN is one of the better writers I've ever read. It seems as though every single word was perfectly placed in this book. It must have had about 30 edits.
Great story, great writing. Very moving and impressive work of art!

I had heard of this title, but never read it, until my son who was a sophomore in H.S. had to read this book as a classroom assignment. BTW, my son HATES reading! He loved it and kept telling me about this book that he was totally engrossed in..(Surprise!) I quickly purchased my own copy read it and sent it to my Mom who loved it as well and made us both cry!
