Tuesdays With Morrie : An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson (AUDIO CASSETTE)

Rating:
Summary: A book that stays with you for a long time.
Review: I finally finished reading the book last night instead of watching the movie (I heard Oprah and Company took too many liberties regarding the story, hence I didn't watch it. The book is always better than the movie). It's a book that I had trouble putting down. Morrie Schwartz reminds you of a mentor or teacher that gave you a reason for living life. If we all take heed to Morrie's teachings, the world would be a better place.

Summary: View and Review.(your life!)
Review: This book was presented to me by my 9th grade science teacher whom it was given to by his brother. He had the whole class read it, not because it had something to do with science,but life. His goals as a (1st year)teacher were to teach us that life has meaning and to be happy about what you have. "The concepts in this book,he said,aren't just for Mitch to learn, but for all of us,all the time." His point is still reaching me in class today. Lessons to learn,all the time,everywhere. This book has created a revolution for me in changing my ideas and views of life. Using good judgement and not being ashamed of areas of my life sre somethings it has taught me. It will definatley be on my Christmas list this year. Everyone needs to read it! I urge you with all sincerity. Even if you aren't a book person,I wasn't until I read this one. So much knowledge,so little time it takes to realize your real life. (P.S. If youb don't read, it's avalible on cassette! ) READ! READ! READ! This is a defenite MUST READ!

Summary: Hitting Home
Review: This book was presented to me by my 9th grade science teacher, whom it was given to by his brother. He told us to read it not because it had something to do with science but with life. That is his greatest goal as a teacher,to get his point across that who ever you are, knowledge of life and morals will apply to you. I'm very glad he did share it because it has inspired change and revelation in my life. The book has taught me that you shouldn't be ashamed of everyday things that happen to everyday people. This book is definately on my Christmas list this year, every one should read this book,even if you aren't a book person, I wasn't until I read this one. It's an easy read and I urge everyone to acknowledge it and understand it as well as I did!

Summary: Touchy, but a great lesson
Review: After seeing the movie, I like the book even more. It's a sweet story and touchy. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that while in this great last lesson of life, and the frequent discussions of subjects like death, God wasn't mentioned once. It's human wisdom, and the conclusions are that love always wins, and that to forgive every day is important. But still, it's a great book and it brings redemption in focusing our lives back to the real issues. One other book that I really liked and that deals with the most important issues of life, this book does it from a spiritual viewpoint, although remaining practical in its application, is Dietmar Scherf's "I Love Me: Avoiding and Overcoming Depression" -- also available at Amazon.com

Summary: The story of life, love or you must Die.
Review: What could define a book like this, truly magical writing with inspiration that comes right from the heart, the love that you feel, the things that you are afraid of , life as a whole comes right infront of you. ' Everyone should love each other or die' though rude but has ture meaning. You can enjoy the taste of life and death with the professor who tell you what living and hapiness is even dying. To die is to live again. Bravo A must buy.

Summary: Best self help book there is.
Review: While I am not a big fan of self help books, I must say that this one is the best out there for the simpe reson that it is not a true self help book. What this book does is simpley get you to look at the world for a new perspective, and that is the best advice there is. a must read for anyone wha has ever questioned the meaning of life. this book told me what my answer was, live for the momment, and let the rest fall into place.

Summary: The book everyone should read
Review: After reading this book, it inspired me so much on how I look at life. People don't know on what to do with their every day life. With this book it made me realize how much things I should get done while I'm still strong and here on Earth. Tuesday with Morrie is the book everyone should see. The book that everyone should talk about. The book that will inspire everyone. Just as the title says it, this book will give you the last greatest lesson in life.

Review: I read the book and tonight i watched the movie on abc. I thought it was a fabulous book that portrays the meaning of life while suffering the hardships of death. If you want a book to take a good lesson out of, this is the one.

Summary: Touched by the movie
Review: I just got done watching the movie Tuesdays with Morrie and I was truely touched because not only the courage of the teacher but the compassion of the student.It is to bad that there is not that much compassion shown more in every day life or maybe it is but it's just not seen.I now plan to read the book because the movie really drew me in and I do not watch that many network movies so Oprah if you ever check in to this site I Thank you for brining us this truely heart warming story.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I sat down to read this book and didn't get up until I had finished it. It speaks volumes, with grace and honesty. Its clear message, like the contradictions in life pointed out in the book, is simple, obvious, and complex at the same time. Don't miss it.
