A must read!!
I read this book after reading five people you meet in heaven for school going into the book I had a positive attitude. Since I read five people it was very meaningful and had a clear message that it was trying to send and I knew tuesday's with morrie would be the same as well. I have not been a very avid reader in recent years, but with this book it put me on track to start another book as well as another Albom book. This is a great author, he needs to write more because I would read and very quickly. The text is very easy to go through if determined two or three of his books could be read within a day or two.
Sad, Weighty, Profound - An Intriguing Examination of Life's Philosophical Questions 
Facing certain death in a predetermined amount of time likely produces some of the most meaningful reflections of one's life. I suspect anyone at facing this would have a far more grounded viewpoint on the significance of material and philosophical aspects. In Tuesdays with Morrie, we are privy to conversations with Morrie Schwartz, a Brandeis University professor who died of Lou Gehrig's disease, and one of his affected students named Mitch Albom.
Each chapter represents a conversation Morrie had with Mitch trying to provide some lasting guidance and perspective about life. What makes this book especially profound is that Morrie is not just an ordinary person forced to reflect on his life, he in fact had spent a lifetime studying human expression. The bulk of the book will give any reader pause, a point of relativity that enables one to consider for a moment what is truly is important.
This book is short, sad, weighty, and most importantly profoundly valuable; one I'd recommend to anyone with an interest in examining life's philosophical questions.

It?s been ten years since Mitch Albom first shared the wisdom of Morrie Schwartz with the world. Now?twelve million copies later?in a new afterword, Mitch Albom reflects again on the meaning of Morrie?s life lessons and the gentle, irrevocable impact of their Tuesday sessions all those years ago. . .
_____
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.
