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

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.

This is a lovely, easy listen that reminds of some of the most important things in life.

We are all capable of not only remain students to this world, but becoming teachers. And sometimes, some of us end up like professors.

My son at 16 said, ‘some people choose boats, batches, business & houses to leave as their legacy. And that’s awesome. But your legacy will live on in the minds & the hearts of the people’.

Be like Morrie: live, live & laugh on in the minds & the hearts of people.

Thank you Mitch, for breathing life into Morrie’s legacy, & co-creating a legacy of your own, that shall forever remain in the minds & hearts of people.

Wow. To say I was moved by this book feels like an understatement. The beautiful simplicity of Morrie's teachings are a reminder of how we get so caught up in this world. Namingly with ourselves. Everybody should read this as their right of passage into the world! An essential. I bawled my eyes out and I still would have listened if it was much longer !
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
