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, and 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 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, and 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. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease - Mitch visited Morrie 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.

REVIEWS :Ugh, it was like stapling together eighty greeting cards and reading them straight through. Hate. I have decided to delete this review. It was not my intention to upset anyone who either suffered from the disorder discussed in this book nor anyone related to such a person (See comment 270). Nonetheless, I still believe this to be a particularly poorly written book that contains more saccharine than substance. Still, if it brings you some sense of comfort - more strength to you.I have chosen not to delete the comments thread as not all of the comments are mine to delete. 4.5 stars "You know, Mitch, now that I'm dying, I've become much more interesting to people." While he was an undergrad, Mitch absolutely loved Morrie Schwartz's college courses - he took every class that professor taught.But, like most students, Mitch lost contact with everything and anything to do with his undergraduate years as soon as he graduated. That is...until he learns that his favorite professor doesn't have long left. ALS is like a lit candle: it melts your nerves and leaves your If I were to die unexpectedly I wouldn’t be ashamed in the least of someone finding my porn stash. And by the way, that video isn’t bestiality, it’s just two guys in a moose suit—big difference. I would be a little ashamed of the fact that I have the first season of 90210 on my iPod, something I downloaded for a friend’s 14 year old daughter (note to self: delete it now!). I’m more worried about someone coming across Tuesdays with Morrie or Eat, Pray, Love in my book collection. I have some So i didn't realise this book was actually nonfiction until after i'd just finished reading it.. and now my feelings are all over the place!!This was a beautiful story, I would definitely recommend reading it if you haven't already. Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch AlbomFirst Publication date: 1997. The story was later recreated by Thomas Rickman into a TV movie of the same name, directed by Mick Jackson, which aired on December 5, 1999 and starred Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria. Tuesday's With Morrie examines the interactions and phenomena between the human experience of living and dying. A theme of personal transcendence appears for both characters: Morrie and Albom.عنوانها: سه شنبه ها با موری؛ سه شنبه ها با موری، سه شنبه های به I have never written a review like this before but this book truly inspired me.So I just finished reading "Tuesdays With Morrie". What a wonderful book, I couldn't put it down! I cannot even imagine going through the last stages of my own life and being as brave (for lack of a better word in my head right now) as Morrie. He was filled with such happiness and joy in his own life. He had regrets but realized that it is ok as long as you can reconcile with yourself in the end. I'm not the type of This is one of those books where I find myself agreeing with the five star reviews and the one star reviews with almost equal enthusiasm.On one hand, it's the sweet story of a man as he reconnects with a former mentor/professor, who is facing a death sentence via ALS. It's obvious that Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie" provided them both with something substantially satisfying. And that's inspiring and poignant. Yet on the other hand, Albom's attempts to enlighten us transforms it into a "Hallmark" Review inspired by Eddie GreenwellWisdom grows with age. But the development of wisdom also accelerates when mortality becomes clear. Mortality shined down on Morrie Schwartz, a happy not-quite-old man through a quick diagnosis of ALS – or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Morrie was a professor of sociology at Brandeis University; he dedicated his life to the study of individuals’ actions in their respective societies and together he and Mitch Albom wrote his final paper: a study of his life in his ‘A wrestling match.’ He laughs, ‘Yes, you could describe life that way.’So which side wins, I ask?Morrie smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.‘Love wins. Love always wins.’***So who’s winning the wrestling match in YOUR life right now? Is it Love? Or is it his dark twin half-brothers, Anxiety and Hopelessness?This wrestling match is REAL. I’m not making this up! Ordinary evil wants our soul. But so does LOVE. As long as we live, our devils will try with all their might to show us I'd heard raves about "Tuesdays with Morrie," so I was went into this with high hopes due to hype,and this book delivered and enchanted me. It is truly a book about teaching and teachable moments. A book for anyone that is looking for something that can help him or her through life when it gets hard. "Tuesdays with Morrie" starts off as a teacher who watches his student, Mitch Albom, go through college and then later in life Mitch experiences this same teacher (or Coach, Morrie) struggle with a Given the popularity of Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, I'm surprised I only just read it this week. It's been in my queue for years, but I never had a copy and for some reason, I just didn't buy it. Earlier this year, I found a copy on my apartment building's bookshelf, so I snatched it up and included it in my September TBR list. I enjoyed it a lot, but it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Knowing how much you can take away from the messages, I ended up with 4.5 stars even though Morrie holds a dear place in my heart now. He reminds me of so many wonderful teachers I have had the chance to learn from and that have treated me like an adult even when I, myself, did not feel like one. There is so much humanity in this book, and yet I am not sad it is over, because life & love will go on... "I looked at him. I saw all the death in the world. I felt helpless."This book broke me. It was raw, thought provoking, heart breaking and real. Such a simple concept, a young man caught up in his busyness and business, competing to be the best in his job finds out that his old college professor is sick. And so begins a tale of regular meetings between Mitch and his old professor - Morrie. I know this book wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but anything that makes me stop and think for a while.
