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
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.

 Great story line! July 16, 2008
Excellent story line. Loved the characters. Best story to show young children. Life teaches us so much. Great inspirational story.
Thank you, Mr. Albom July 5, 2008
It was a privilege to read about Morrie and Mitch, and to listen in on their conversations. For readers who are willing to open their mind and heart, there are many moments of grace within these pages. Mitch & Morrie helps us reflect on life, love, marriage, forgiveness and even death in way that makes us cherish life all the more.

The Jesus Priorities: 8 Essential Habits
 Not all it's perked up to be! July 3, 2008
After reading "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," by the same author, and reading/hearing comments about "Tuesdays with Morrie," I really thought this was going to be a great read also-- but it wasn't. Reviewers make it seem as though there are so many revealing thoughts and lessons to be learned through this book, however, I found most of them to be common sense based. It was interesting to follow how this elderly man degenerates, yet keeps a positive attitude all throughout. Nonetheless, it wasn't as engaging to read as "The Five People You Meet in Heaven."
Fantastic Reading July 1, 2008
Tuesday With Morrie is a wonderful book. It sits by my bedside and I constantly pick it up and reread a chapter or two upon going to bed at night. My husband read it and Morrie inspired him to change his life. He wanted to be more like Morrie. A book that helped him do this and continues to is Why Men Die Before Women and How to Prevent It. Read both of these books.
 Amazing Book. June 17, 2008
As a class we read the book Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom. Tuesdays with Morrie is an incredible novel about a professor who becomes very ill and happens to connect with Mitch Albom an old student of Morrie's when Mitch found out Morrie was ill. Mitch is an average working man who is very involved with his work and gets wrapped up in things that dont really matter in life. In this book you learn a lot about yourself and the courage and bravery behind death. By reading this book you realize what matters in life and how important family and friends actually are. Its not about money and the nicest cars its about love and happiness. After reading this book I had a whole new outlook on life. Also you begin to notice what happens now wont effect you in the future.
I suggest this book for anybody who is looking for a good read, or anybody that needs that extra push when they are in a time of need. This book opens up a lot of doors for many different people and I hope that this book has the same affect on people as it did on me.
Enjoy :)
