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.©1997 Mitch Albom

Critic reviews

Mitch Albom sees the magical in the ordinary (Cecilia Ahern)

Powerful . . . Albom has touched the lives of a lot of people he never even knew

Compelling and uplifting (Independent)

A writer with soul (Los Angeles Times)

Albom breaks hearts with his stories (Mirror)

A beautifully written book of great clarity and wisdom that lovingly captures the simplicity beyond life's complexities

This is a true story that shines and leaves you forever warmed by its afterglow

This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters, it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? And we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. Finally, we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility.

I live with chronic illness, a bit of my ability disappears each year and I long ago made peace with my mortality. Life does change, you look at things differently, you see things you didn't and you cherish things more.
Six months ago my husband died suddenly, we are in our 40s. I've spent those months in turmoil, i expect to die whenever I leave the house, the friendship group I had nurtured for years has disbanded, because it suddenly became me who needed the help not them and I've felt a panic that my peace will never come back, an obligation to go back into the rat race and look at the world more harshly.
But I have listened to this in less than 24 hours and I can feel my peace and equilibrium returning.
Mories wise words have sunk in, his outlook has been instilled in me.
It was an honour to share those thoughts and to take away so much from them.
I don't normally reread books, but I'm sure this is one I will return to.
