Summary
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。

داستان درباره یک استاد دانشگاه هست که داره میمیره و این مرگ رو قبول کرده و داره از تک‌‌تک لحظاتش لذت می‌بره。اکثرا از این کتاب به خاطر جمله‌هایی که داره و نگاه شاید جدیدی که به زندگی داره تعریف می‌کنند، ولی به نظرم این روزا توی فضای مجازی این جملات و به اصطلاح درس‌های زندگی رو خیلی زیاد می‌بینیم。 برای همین کتاب برام خیلی مطلب جدیدی نداشت！ولی اینکه همه این تفکرات رو یک نفر در دنیای واقعی داشته و داستان واقعی هست باعث شده که کتاب ارزش یک بار خوندن داشته باشه。

A classic。 One of the few books that I have read repeatedly and will continue to whenever I am in a season of life that feels overwhelming。 This book is a safe place for me， reflections on life and priorities， reconnecting with passion and purpose。 Highly recommended， everyone needs to read this book at least once in their lives。

A book with life lessons。 A read that reminded me of my long conversations with my teacher who gave a perspective to see life and people and reminded me to be stay compassionate to others as we don't know what battles others are fighting within。 He taught me to leave the anger and surrender to the Almighty， let life take its course and live one day at a time。 It does make it easy to live one day at a time。 A book with life lessons。 A read that reminded me of my long conversations with my teacher who gave a perspective to see life and people and reminded me to be stay compassionate to others as we don't know what battles others are fighting within。 He taught me to leave the anger and surrender to the Almighty， let life take its course and live one day at a time。 It does make it easy to live one day at a time。 。。。more

En realidad 3，5⭐️Bueno libro， con excelentes e interesantes enseñanzas y reflexiones。 Morrie fue una gran persona， con gran personalidad y una mente… peculiar y tengo la sensación de que Mitch ha sabido reflejarlo muy bien en un entorno sencillo， sin florituras， reflejando una realidad dura， una enfermedad sin cura， un final de vida… con un grandísimo respeto y amor。Lo empecé en noviembre， pero por temas personales lo aparqué y lo recuperé hace unos días， no más de una semana y lo he acabado en En realidad 3，5⭐️Bueno libro， con excelentes e interesantes enseñanzas y reflexiones。 Morrie fue una gran persona， con gran personalidad y una mente… peculiar y tengo la sensación de que Mitch ha sabido reflejarlo muy bien en un entorno sencillo， sin florituras， reflejando una realidad dura， una enfermedad sin cura， un final de vida… con un grandísimo respeto y amor。Lo empecé en noviembre， pero por temas personales lo aparqué y lo recuperé hace unos días， no más de una semana y lo he acabado en breves。。。 No es la típica lectura que entretiene （si es lo que buscas）， ya que sus mensajes son para pararse a analizarlos y gravarlos… A mi， eso hace que me sea más fácil dejar la lectura a medias y luego me cuesta volver a engancharme （porque me olvido que está a medias…）。 En fin， me alegro de haberlo finalizado porque hacía mucho tiempo que lo tenía pendiente… 。。。more

"。。。Умирать — грустно， Митч， спору нет， — вдруг заговорил Морри。 — Но жить несчастливо — это уже нечто иное。 Среди людей， что приходят навестить меня， так много несчастных。 Каждый знает， что умрет， — повторил: Морри。 — Но никто не верит。 Потому что если б мы верили， то жили бы по-другому。"История Морри трогательная и пронзительная。 Я много чего подчеркнула。 В книге много прекрасных цитат， которые переворачивают сознание。 "。。。Умирать — грустно， Митч， спору нет， — вдруг заговорил Морри。 — Но жить несчастливо — это уже нечто иное。 Среди людей， что приходят навестить меня， так много несчастных。 Каждый знает， что умрет， — повторил: Морри。 — Но никто не верит。 Потому что если б мы верили， то жили бы по-другому。"История Морри трогательная и пронзительная。 Я много чего подчеркнула。 В книге много прекрасных цитат， которые переворачивают сознание。 。。。more

The book was shoving something down my throat and I simply could not choke it down。 Sentimental glurge like a Hallmark greeting card， but the writing is pretty。

I had to read this book for my human development class for college。 At first I was skeptical and am not a huge fan of books professors assign。 But I instantly fell in love with the book and the message。 The bond between Mitch and Morrie is so touching。 Morrie is a wonderful teacher。 He gave so many valuable pieces of advice to Mitch。 As a reader， the pieces of advice he gave to Mitch will stick with me。 One piece of advice was “once you learn how to die， you learn how to live。” To me you don’t n I had to read this book for my human development class for college。 At first I was skeptical and am not a huge fan of books professors assign。 But I instantly fell in love with the book and the message。 The bond between Mitch and Morrie is so touching。 Morrie is a wonderful teacher。 He gave so many valuable pieces of advice to Mitch。 As a reader， the pieces of advice he gave to Mitch will stick with me。 One piece of advice was “once you learn how to die， you learn how to live。” To me you don’t need to learn how to die…but you need to learn how to live your life to its fullest。 You can die at any moment。 But make sure you lived your life to the fullest。 Fill your beautiful life with love， friendships， memories， moments you won’t forget， experiences， etc。 And you will die eventually knowing your life was worth living。 。。。more

I started reading this thinking it’d be a good Sunday morning read and a few hours later I was sobbing as I finished reading the last few pages。 I can see why it’s remained so popular since it’s publication， with stage and film productions， translated into numerous languages。 It is a book with so much depth but told so simply and relatable， that is what makes it more emotionally impactful。

A book I'm sure to re-read in the future to reflect。 Many life lessons within。 Some that I'm sure will stick with me for a long time。 I'm glad I read it all the way through and got to feel a small connection to a great teacher。 Shed a tear or two。 A good book。 I liked it。 A book I'm sure to re-read in the future to reflect。 Many life lessons within。 Some that I'm sure will stick with me for a long time。 I'm glad I read it all the way through and got to feel a small connection to a great teacher。 Shed a tear or two。 A good book。 I liked it。 。。。more

“Me permito un buen llanto si lo necesito。 Pero después me concentro en todas las cosas buenas que me quedan en la vida。 En las personas que vienen a verme。 En las anécdotas que voy a oír。 En ti， si es martes。 Porque somos personas de los martes。Sonreí。 -Si， somos personas de los partes-”

Amazing book， had to slow my pace to really stop and enjoy it fully。 So much amazing insight。 I wish morrie had been my teacher。 Can’t wait to see the stage performance next month！ Also purchased a copy to have in personal library as I will def reread this one。

I have wanted to read this book for many years and finally had a copy seemingly fall into my lap。 I cannot give enough praise for this life lesson thesis written by a student with the input from his beloved professor。 It is a must read 。。。 and reread book！

A wonderful read about the meaning of life and happiness， explored by a student after the death of his teacher。 It really has a powerful message and I absolutely recommend it！

3。5 stars maybe？ Wasn’t as impactful as I was hoping， but it was sweet！“This is part of what a family is about， not just love， but letting others know theres someone who is watching out for them。”“Turn on the faucet。 Wash yourself with the emotion。 It won’t hurt you。 It will only help。 If you let the fear inside， if you pull it on like a familiar shirt， then you can say to yourself， ‘All right， it’s just fear， I don’t have to let it control me。 I see it for what it is。’”“It’s very simple。 As you 3。5 stars maybe？ Wasn’t as impactful as I was hoping， but it was sweet！“This is part of what a family is about， not just love， but letting others know theres someone who is watching out for them。”“Turn on the faucet。 Wash yourself with the emotion。 It won’t hurt you。 It will only help。 If you let the fear inside， if you pull it on like a familiar shirt， then you can say to yourself， ‘All right， it’s just fear， I don’t have to let it control me。 I see it for what it is。’”“It’s very simple。 As you grow， you learn more。 If you stayed at twenty-two， you’d always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two。 Aging is not just decay， you know。 It’s growth。”“Mitch， if you’re trying to show off for people at the top， forget it。 They will look down at you anyhow。 And if you’re trying to show off for people at the bottom， forget it。 They will only envy you。 Status will get you nowhere。” 。。。more
