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.

This book is a must read for everybody. No matter what stage you're at in life, no matter what struggles you're going through, I guarantee that this book will change your life from the first chapter. I finished each chapter with unforgettable life lessons, and went through two tissue boxes while reading!! Even in death, Morrie is still leaving an unforgettable impact on generations.
Important lessons about regret, family, love, etc and how we get caught up in things that aren’t necessarily important. Sometimes, simple is better and we don’t realize it unless something happens. Unfortunately this book is taught through the perspective of an old man with ALS and passes his wisdom onto an old student of his, who reconnected when he found out about his beloved professors diagnosis. Very easy read but full of good lessons
Intentionally simple and well-written. Claims to know the meaning of life and perhaps delivers.
Only critique is bordering on self-help. Still a worthwhile read.
