Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom - Book Review

One of the most fascinating aspects of the book “Tuesdays with Morrie” is that it is a true story based on the eye-opening, philosophical discussions between a student and his mentor.

Mitch Albom reconnects with his mentor, a social psychology professor. As Albom graduates from college, he promises to keep in touch, however, per usual, life had different plans for him.

Only after seeing his Professor in an interview on TV does he realize that Morrie is not only sick but predicted to die soon.

After not seeing him for 16 years (since graduation), he heads out to visit his mentor in Detroit and starts a weekly ritual of spending time with him as they discuss important and valuable life topics.

Morrie being on the verge of death and having greater experience with life discusses topics such as love, family, death, regrets, and forgiveness from a different perspective and introduces new grounds of philosophy on each weekly encounter.

He tackles each topic as a subject, while Albom puts everything he learned in a final paper that he publishes as the book: Tuesdays with Morrie.

This, not only, makes their bond stronger but helps make Morrie’s final days worthwhile. Albom gets insight into Morrie’s incredible mind as he’s tackled with infinite thoughts to keep his brain occupied.

“Tuesdays with Morrie” teaches us a valuable lesson about time, as well as introduces thoughtful insight on topics most people encounter during their lives.

This book teaches you the importance of valuable friendships and having an older, wiser mentor to introduce uncommon advice and open up your mind to different perspectives.

While, on the verge of death, Morrie still keeps moving forward and doesn’t let death affect his life.

This book is a great read that is truly inspirational, eye-opening and addresses several topics and subjects in a different manner.

Furthermore, it is an eye-opener to different perspectives about life and teaches several beneficial lessons.
