Originally published under the title Letting Go, three years ago, this is Morrie Schwartz's enlightened and compassionate philosophy of living, written as he was battling the effects of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Sadly, Morrie died before the book was published. A year later,though, a former student of Morrie's, Mitch Albom, wrote Tuesdays withMorrie, chronicling Morrie's impact on his life. This book is, as the title says, Morrie in his own words, his invaluable legacy to us all.
From the eponymous subject of the beloved classic Tuesdays with Morrie comes
an insightful, poignant masterpiece on staying vibrant and connected for life.
Who am I really? What have I done? What is important and meaningful to me?
What difference does it make that I have lived? What does it mean to be truly
human, and where am I on that scale? Morrie Schwartz, the beloved subject of
the classic, multimillion-copy number one bestseller Tuesdays with Morrie,
explores these questions and many more in this profound, poetic, and poignant
masterpiece of living and aging joyfully and creatively. Later life can be
filled with many challenges, but it can also be one of the most beautiful and
rewarding passages in anyone's lifetime. Morrie draws on his experiences as a
social psychologist, teacher, father, friend, and sage to offer us a road map
to navigate our futures. A great companion to Tuesdays with Morrie or the
perfect introduction to Morrie's thoughtful philosophies, The Wisdom of Morrie
is filled with empathic insights, stories, anecdotes, and advice, told in
Morrie's reassuring, calm, and timeless voice. Let The Wisdom of Morrie be
your guide in exploring deep questions of how to live and how to love.
