Tuesdays with Morrie

Description

The multi-million-copy global phenomenon and one of the most beloved memoirs of all time! From acclaimed author and journalist Mitch Albom comes Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life’s Greatest Lesson. A deeply moving, poignant, and timeless masterpiece, this extraordinary chronicle of love, mentorship, and wisdom offers a profound blueprint for understanding what truly matters in life.

Maybe it was a grandparent, a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient, and wise, who understood you when you were young, reckless, and searching, and gave you the sound advice to help you navigate your way through a chaotic world. For Mitch Albom, that unforgettable person was Morrie Schwartz, his favorite college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this vital mentor as you made your way through adulthood, and those invaluable early insights slowly faded into the background hum of a busy life. Wouldn’t you love to see that person just one more time, to ask the bigger, existential questions that still haunt your soul? Mitch Albom miraculously had that rare second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the very last months of the older man’s life. Knowing Morrie was dying of ALS—the devastating motor neurone disease—Mitch began visiting his old professor in his study every single Tuesday, just as they used to do back in his college days.

Their beautifully rekindled relationship turned into one final, intimate “class” between a patient mentor and a searching student. It became a weekly seminar of lessons on how to live, how to look past societal superficiality, and how to embrace forgiveness, love, aging, and ultimately, mortality.

An iconic staple of contemporary non-fiction, philosophy, self-help, and grief recovery literature, Tuesdays with Morrie delivers a beautifully atmospheric, gentle, and comforting true story. It is an unputdownable, comforting guide packed with emotional resonance, high-performance life philosophies, and the enduring power of human connection.
