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.

    “Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I’m sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have.”

    “I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on all the good things still in my life. On the people who are coming to see me. On the stories I’m going to hear. On you—if it’s Tuesday. Because we’re Tuesday people.”

    This book wasn’t really a page-turner for me but despite that, it was a pretty good book with some great life lessons.

    This book moved in ways I never thought was possible, I laughed and I cried hard. I will never forget Morrie, and whoever reads this book won’t forget him either.

    “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” This book! This one right here?!? So good! I have no complaints. I loved the pacing of the book, the structure, how poetic it was. The way Mitch Albom wrote about Morrie made him seem like a wonderful person (which I’m sure he was) and I would have loved to have met him.
