Tuesdays with Morrie

     

Tuesdays with Morrie is a book about a journalist who after college dedicated himself to work, work, work. He didn't really have any friends and his relationships didn’t last long and when did he ignore his spouse. When watching T.V. one day he saw his favorite professor from college talking on nightline about what dying of the disease ALS was like. After this he went to see him and over time Morrie or “coach” as he called him taught him on his finally days of life on how to really live and to love. It toke sometime but right before he died he finally learned the lesson on how to live happily.

I thought this was a great book. It showed me a new way to look at life and our culture with its flaws. I believe this book can inspire people to do better and be better people. It talks about everything life and death, love and hate, and family and friends. I think it’s a book everyone must read and especially students because they need to know right from the start that work and money isn’t everything.

This kind of book is very personal to me. For most of my teens years I’ve have been obsessed with the idea of peace and happiness and how to obtain it. I have watched many documentaries, books, and movies on this subject. Now and forever I will hold this subject dear to me.
