>> One Day Read Lifetime of Wisdom
Tuesdays with Morrie is a great one day read to take along on a plane to the beach or anytime you will have the opportunity to read Mitch is the everyman in this work too wrapped up in life and not enough in truly living Morrie is the voice of wisdom and experience who desperately wants to live his last days with as much love and meaning as possible Together again after many years apart both find their coach/player student/teacher relationship deeply meaningful and rewarding up until Morrie s passing and beyond
We should all be as fortunate as Mitch to have a mentor in life and wise enough to recognize it Filled with wisdom on many aspects of life Morrie teaches Mitch and us that love and relationships are the highest aspiration of life I completely agree

Tuesdays with Morrie An Old Man a Young Man and Life s Greatest Lesson
Review by Richard L Weaver II PhD
Mitch Albom s very popular 192 page book Tuesdays with Morrie can be enjoyed on a variety of levels First if you ve ever had a great teacher it is a wonderful and touching dialog between teacher and student Second the philosophical insights wisdom and simple life lessons Morrie Schwartz a sociology professor at Brandies University dispenses throughout the book are excellent basic lessons on how to live Third you experience along with Albom Morrie s declining health he s dying from ALS Lou Gehrig s disease and it is an honest and straightforward lesson in how to die Fourth you learn from this experience that human relationships and health are more important than all the gadgets modern conveniences and the other trivialities that occupy our lives Fifth you enjoy the special connection that can take place between a spiritual mentor and a pupil Sixth you will be reading a book that will touch your heart in a deep and meaningful way This is a short inspirational book It takes 2 4 hours to read with the most important truth being you learn to live by learning to die The other truths include the necessity of devoting yourself to loving others devoting yourself to your community and devoting yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning What s interesting about this book a type I tend to avoid for the most part it was recommended to me by my wife is that it lives up to all the hype It is a classic and it will continue to be a bestseller for a long time I highly recommend it
>> A must read for everyone
This is a great book it will get you thinking and remind you about how we all should be living The author does a great job of making you feel as though you where there with them I even had my 13 year old watch the movie of it although the book is so much better I just knew he would nt read it
Thanks Morrie for sharing this with me and thanks to Mitch for bringing it to me
