Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson, 25th Anniversary Edition

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief--featuring a new afterword by the author "A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul."--Los Angeles Times "The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in." 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 his college professor Morrie Schwartz. 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. "The truth is, Mitch," he said, "once you learn how to die, you learn 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.

I needed a feel-good book to revisit. I forgot this was a true story, so an extra layer of emotions was attached to this story while I was rereading it. I love Morrie’s outlook on living and life. There are so many great takeaways in this book. After losing my mother-in-law to cancer last month, this book was a little raw but helpful in processing some of my grief.
It took me a minute to get into this book but once I was in I came to care for the main characters I enjoy Mitch and his style of writing.
This book personally inspired me to reevaluate my life and my values. Such an inspiring and moving story… thanks, Morrie.
Such a beautifully written story about a man sharing his perspective on life as he is nearing death. We all need a Morrie in our lives to keep us grounded ❤️
