Book Description:
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.
From the Hardcover edition.

This little book is a gem. Inspirational and touching, it reminds the reader about the true meaning of life. It will make you reflect on what is really important in life. Morrie is a character who won't easily be forgotten. The ending will make you cry.

A powerful book--I'm puzzled by the other member who said it was too sentimental. I hate fiction where I feel like I'm being jerked around and made to cry, but this is the real deal. I think most people can learn a lot from this book about approaching the end of their life and the end of the lives of others by reading this book.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Before reading it I would not have thought you could learn about life and living through death and dying, but I would have been wrong. This book moved me and taught me much.

This is a great book, Philosophy of life and dying. Really makes you think, if you have "shared" your life with enough people before you die, or have you been "shelfish" most of your life.

This book was awesome!!! It really makes you realized alot in life!!! Has changed my way of thinking...We need not only to forgive others but forgive ourselves!!!!
I really enjoyed this book as it washed over me like a trusted couselor. I empathized with the main character and as he did, feel in love with Morrie. It was a great life tune-up session. As you apply the life-lessons to yourself using self examination, you get almost as much out of Morrie as Mitch does. Thanks to Mitch Albom for sharing his "coach" with us.
