About this listen

 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 Education Metaphysics Philosophy Physical Illness & Disease Thought-Provoking Inspiring Heartfelt Funny

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.

Selected on the back of the great reviews and as someone who likes to learn in life, improve myself and others around me, I thought it would be a great choice.

I'm sort of left a bit perplexed. For sure it was someone's experience and story but I felt something was missing- whether it was he structure of the chapters I don't know, but felt it could have been laid out better with "life's lessons"
The only take away I can see are;
- death comes to all, enjoy what you have
- don't live in the past

Wanted to enjoy it more but felt something was missing.

This is a book I've waited many years to hear/read. Having read several other Mitch Albom books I was curious but knew that I would be moved as I had been by The Five People You Meet In Heaven and The Time Keeper. I was not disappointed. On the face of it, the story line appears morbid - an account of a dying man's last few weeks. However, the contrary is true. I found it to be a celebration of life laced with the simple wisdom of a natural teacher granted the time to pass on his most profound and important lessons. A masterpiece.

Moving and life affirming

It’s strange... we can get locked in the day to day running of our lives and don’t notice them blend into weeks, months and years.

Morrie’s upbeat and positive attitude are so admiring! This book leaves you feeling like you have a friend, someone to share a connection and engage with even when things around you might be awful (it’s 2021 after all).

Certainly not a choice I would have sought out but I’m so glad for the recommendation to listen. I’m sure each listen can take a huge amount from the book, not least a lasting connection to a person I never got to meet RIP Morrie.

Amazingly uplifting and eye opening for 2021
