Tuesdays with Morrie

An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson

De: Mitch Albom

Narrado por: Mitch Albom

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 20 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Albom narrates as well as he writes, eschewing excessive sentiment." (AudioFile)

Great book!

Tuesdays with Morrie will teach you about life and you will look at your own life differently after reading Morrie's philosophy. What a treat!

what a listen

The author takes us on a journey from heart warming to heart breaking as he tells us about his weekly visits with his old college professor, now terminally ill. Thank you Mr. Albom for sharing your friendship with your professor. I wish I could've met him myself!

One of my favorite audiobooks

I had read this book and I got it on audiobook because I liked it so much. The audiobook gives it even more nuance and meaning because it is read by the author. Mitch Albom does a terrific job with the reading. I particularly like how he imitates what Morrie's voice sounded like. Plus, there's a great bonus at the end where there are some clips of Mitch's interviews with Morrie.

Life Changing

This book continues to touch the hearts of many. There isn't much to say except this is an amazing story and it will change the way you think. Highly recommended.

FANTASTIC!

If I could give this a rating of more than 5 stars, I would. What a WONDERFUL story of life. Tuesdays with Morrie is a wonderful story of an old man’s wish to share the true meaning of life with the world. If only more of us would listen to these wise words (hmmm…. most sound like they come straight from the teachings of the Bible!) this world truly could be a wonderful place.

PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!!
