Rating: Summary: It made me learn how to live life to the fullest... Review: No matter how old and what kind of person you are, I tell you that this book is a must-read. You can find here lessons in life that are simply stated for everyone to easily understand. It made me see that life is too short for us to dwell on negative thoughts and emotions. I agree with the author in saying that Morrie is such a great teacher. Such great teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops.
Rating: Summary: Everyone should read this book Review: This was one of the best books that I have read in a long time. This book has stuck with me for weeks. Its a lesson that everyone can relate to. It made me Stop and smell the flowers!
Rating: Summary: Everyone should have to read this book!!!! Review: I am 17 and my mom made me read this book even though i would have rather read a good book on American History. When i started it i was immediately overcome by the warmth which Morrie possessed. After finishing I have, now, a brand new perspective on situations and life in general. I would recommend this book to everyone; both young and old, black and white, poor and rich. I have been touched by Morrie's life and I am sure you will too!
Rating: Summary: Read this book and learn how to deal with life...and death Review: This was one of the most amazing books I've ever read. I recently lost my father to a sudden heart attack last fall, and have been searching ever since for "the book" to help the healing process. Well, I found it and I was not disappointed. This is must-read for anyone who is trying to deal with the struggles of life and death. Thank you, Mitch, for sharing the story of your mentor and friend.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful book about living, loving, and dying. Review: I loved this book. My Mom also battled ALS, and died around the same time Morrie did. I knew nothing of his story until recently. But this book brought it all back with amazing clarity. So much of what Morrie was saying, my Mom was saying about life, about love, about being grateful to have the time to say goodbye. The experience changed my life and "Tuesdays with Morrie" reminded me of this. I hope many people read this book and take the message to heart. Yes, it is a simple one, yes we have heard it before, and yes we need to hear it again until we get it.
Rating: Summary: Forget the myriad of self-help books - this is all you need Review: A wonderful book that will guide you for the rest of your life. We can gain so much wisdom from our elders - if we take the time to listen.I will carry this book with me and continue to re-read and highlight Morrie's words of wisdom.
Rating: Summary: Some great insights into what is really important in life. Review: Sappy at times, I was most moved by the guilt the author had about being more interested in his work than in a dying friend,at times. It made me stop and think about how much I "lose" myself in my work rather than paying attention to my children, wife, family, and friends.
Rating: Summary: I wish I had met Morrie , I could have been so lucky.. Review: This book makes me see the trees, the birds, the sky and everything else around me more beautiful. Mitch Albom was one lucky man who had the great honor of not only knowing Mr. Morrie Schwartz but for also being a friend and a student. This is one book I will always treasure not only for the beauty of the story nor for the wonderful lessons every Tuesday, but also for the ability of one beautiful and courageous man to face death with such dignity, charisma, and humor. This book has taught me the meaning of 'living life to its fullest.' Nothing should ever be taken for granted and always remember that 'only a life lived for others, is a life worthwhile.'
Rating: Summary: Best book I ever read. Makes you rethink what's important. Review: This is the best book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. This book lets you look at your life and reevaluate your priorities. I recommend this book to everyone. It really is the last great lesson.
Rating: Summary: Great Book!! Review: This is an excellent book! It's really puts everyday life's little bumps and brusies on the shelf. Well done..
