Quotes & Excerpts:

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

I loved this book, and I cried because I was genuinely touched (no, I don't cry easily). Highly recommended.

Honestly, I have never read a more moving and emotional book than Tuesdays with Morrie. There were points where I had to set the book down, wipe away tears, and regain my composure. Mitch Albom gives a truly remarkable account of his interactions with a truly remarkable human being.

This is a very powerful book about feelings and everyone - especially men - should consider this a staple in their library. The actual footage of Morrie and Ted Koppell really help bring the book to life and a must see for any Tuesday with Morrie fans! READ IT - IT IS WORTH IT!!!!

This is one of the most wonderful books I have had the privilege of reading. Even as a young African-American woman, I could easily understand and appreciate the life lessons taught in this book. It was also a quick read (something any college student loves.) I wholeheartedly recommend Tuesdays with Morrie to anyone with a heart.

This book was wonderful! Beauty of the human spirit was in every chapter, wisdom of age and friendship, laughter that was unexpected and shared joy and sadness in the being of Morrie, and the passing of Morrie.

Tuesdays with Morrie was given to me as a gift by my dearest friend, and it moved me so much I have decided to give it to everyone I know on their birthdays this year. Everyone can find a spot for Tuesdays with Morrie on their bookcase.

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.......

Great book!

This book became one of my favorites ever. The story is not just about death but about life. As soon as you start reading this "Tuesdays with Morrie" you will start comparing Morrie's, Mitch's, and your life. Very inspiring. I recommended this book to many of my friends and they just fell in love. There are also YouTube videos showing real Morrie's interviews and DVD so check them out, too. Enjoy!

Loved it

A must read
Review written by: Locolako From
A very heartwarming read that will make you want to be there in the story. That makes you want to have experienced the story first hand and to have also met Morrie.
It is not the happiest story in the world and is generally sad, though it is in the best way. Morrie talks about his lessons and hopefully you take time to think about what he says.
