I love this book. I've been telling all my friends, 'You have to read this.'Mitch Albom was given a wonderful gift from his teacher Morrie Schwartz and now we have the great pleasure of auditing the same class.As coach, humanist, and 'religious mutt," Morrie gives his former student a crash course on living: clear and ruthless hindsight on what matters most when your days are numbered. And Albom is perfect as the prodigal son: the successful sports journalist who wonders if the idealism of his favorite professor has kept pace with the real world. This is a true story that shines and leaves you forever warmed by its afterglow.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a sweet and gentle tribute to age and aging.Thanks, Mitch Albom, for introducing me to Morrie Schwartz. His dignity and frankness stirred me. His good humor and zest left me smiling.
Poignant and powerfully moving, Tuesdays with Morrie captures the essence and spirit of a truly gifted teacher and his unwavering belief that the most important lesson in life is connecting to one another through compassion and love. Mitch Albom gives his cherished mentor the greatest gift of passing it on to us all.
Sometimes if you take a second look around you'll notice we are amongst angels. Only a man--no, a saint--like Morrie Schwartz could take his own impending death and teach us how to five. After reading Tuesdays with Morrie you'll understand that class is never dismissed.
