Tuesday with Morrie – By Mitch Albom

The story revolves around Morrie( Mitch Albom’s professor and mentor) and his philosophies on life, dying, communication, money, happiness, family, marriage, love and friends.

In his student days at university, Albom had regarded Morrie as a friend and mentor, but had lost touch with him since his graduation. Realising that he has not long to live, Albom decides to fulfil his unkept promises to keep in touch with Morrie and travels from Detroit to Morrie's town in West Newton, MA, every Tuesday till the day Morrie dies. In each of his meetings, Albom summed up his inspiring conversations with Morrie as simple lessons in life. Morrie explains about various topics to Mitch Albom like the World, Feeling Sorry for Yourself, Regrets, Death, Family, Emotions, Fear of Aging, Money, Marriage, Culture, Forgiveness.

Mitch Albom narrated the big things in simple words & effective way. I liked some of the quotes mentioned in this book.

Everyone knows they are going to die, But nobody believes it. If we did, We would do things differently.

Love each other or perish

Death ends a life, not a relationship

Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling

Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.

Love is how to stay alive.
