“Have I told you about the tension of opposites?” he says. One afternoon, I’m complaining about the confusion of my age, what is expected of us versus what I want for myself. This excerpt was so simple yet so impactful. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it. “Well, for one thing, the culture we have doesn’t make people feel good about themselves. Morrie has talked about “culture” multiple times in the book-how it is flawed how you can create your own culture. “Have you found someone to share your heart with? Are you giving to your community? Are you at peace with yourself? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?”Ģ. These are some excellent self-reflection questions and I spent a good long time thinking about them and answering them for myself. So, here are 21 things that I felt were most important:ġ.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a book about how the author Mitch Albom meets his favourite teacher Morrie and they spend Tuesdays talking about life.
Today, the book has sold 17 million copies in more than 50 editions around the world.Today I want to share the life lessons that I’ve learnt from this beautiful book that I read recently, Tuesdays with Morrie. Now the best-selling memoir of all time, Tuesdays with Morrie began as a modest labor of love to help pay some of Schwartz’s medical bills. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. 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? Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. 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.įor Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague.
