Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author

“A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”

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 his college professor Morrie Schwartz.

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. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn 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.

The emotion in knowing it is his story of what happened

Helping realize the keys to life. Resets perspective of importance in the whirlwind of culture and chaos. Well worth the time and money to invest into this title huge ROI.

Beautiful story of life, love, relationships & death

This book is such a touching story of two men coming to terms with terminal illness.
Every teacher and student should read this, as the true message is not about death but making the most of your life.
Mitch Albom narrates the story of his admired professors' life in a very genuine and honest way.

amazing

I love this bike it was amazing I should have read it sooner in life but being 35 and commuting long hours to work this was the perfect thing to read while driving your relaxed towards work and while you're driving back home you make every single second counts because you realize that life is the best thing to live

Such a Meaningful Message

This book relays a great message to its readers. It is a very well written book, and one of the few I enjoyed; however, saying that I "enjoyed" it is an understatement. It relays the message to fulfill your life while it lasts, because one day, it will be over. Mitch Albom wrote this book with so much emotion, I could feel it while reading. Definitely a 5/5 rating. Very much recommended.

a true master piece of self understanding!!!

a guide to walking with death hand and hand!!! understand loss and finding life in a rare but true form!!!
