Book Reviews of Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson

Book Review: Love each other or PERISH
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is truly inspiring me, even the film itself has touched so many people, filmed by Oprah Winfrey, written by Mitch Albom, and inspired by Morrie Schwartz's wisdom. More importantly, This is a true story !

The story start from Mitch Albom, he was too busy with his works and suddenly he watched his best lecture on TV, Morrie Schwartz, that he never met him in 16 years, dying with his disease, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). After thinking and discussing with his wife, he went to Morrie's House .Furthermore, he made an appointment every Tuesday that he would come and write Morrie's lesson on life, World, Feeling Sorry, Regrets, Family, Marriage, Fear of Aging, Money, Culture, Forgiveness, and Death. Later on, this book has sold 11 millions in print worldwide.

I remembered Morrie remarked that "Love each other or Perish." This is a rare book about life, about how to make this world, society, family, even yourself to be happy. A must have for those who want to live a meaningful life.

- If today is your last day to live, what would you do? -

Summary of Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson

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, helped you see the world as a more profound place, 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, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch 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.


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? Plus, 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. And 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. --Gail Hudson
