About this ebook

THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON THAT HAS TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF OVER 9 MILLION READERS

'Mitch Albom sees the magical in the ordinary' Cecelia Ahern

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, and gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it? For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease - Mitch visited Morrie 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.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

Ratings and reviews

A death occurred in my close family as I was reading this book, and it helped me to cope with my grief. A wonderful and well written story, full of love. I have learned so much.

This is going to be one of those books which I will urge each person I meet to read from now on. To be honest, you need to read this book every six months to keep Morrie's lessons from fading away. A very essential read which will impact how you live your life.

Detach from material things is the first thing I learned. Another aphorism is "love each other or die". Such a peaceful and clean way to achieve happiness or fulfillment of life. Great book. Even though you feel it as read already but still you find joy in reading.
