A beautiful book written by a beautiful person. The theme of the book is on dying as the author is dying, however there is so much to learn about life through this man's insight. I hope Morrie is one of "The Five People I Meet In Heaven" (see "The 5 People You Meet In Heaven")
Okay, I bought this knowing it would not be as good as Mitch Albom's TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, but I was hungry for more of Morrie' words, wisdom, and inspirational aphorims. I wasn't disappointed. What an incredible man! His words continue to inspire me everyday. "A teacher to the last..." If you loved TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, this book is worth buying. If you haven't read TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE yet, don't buy this book yet. Read TUESDAYS first, and then if you like that book, come back and buy this title for more of Morrie.
"Morrie's prospective on living and dying along with other life experience!"
The book is a companion read of "Tuesdays with Morrie." Although both books cover similar material, the difference is the originality of the material. Morrie explains his prospective living and dying in addition to his other life experiences. The reader will get insight on such topics as "handling frustration" and "reaching acceptance" to "relating to others" and "being kind to yourself" or understand Morrie's view regarding "It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people." Or "It's not to late to...ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be."
After reading the wonderful 'Tuesdays with Morrie' I was craving for more wise lessons from Morrie Schwartz. Eventually I came across this little booklet written by the man himself. It's filled with the same inspiring wisdom and lessons you'll also find in 'Tuesdays', but there's one big difference. In 'Tuesdays' Morrie was teaching his old student Mitch how to live a better life. As such that book is enormously relevant to everybody who reads it. In 'Morrie in his own words' the focus is more towards helping the dying and terminally ill deal with their situation, settle some important relational 'unfinished business' and reach acceptance and closure. About 75% percent of the book seems to be aimed at this specific group of people.
It still includes valuable lessons and especially Morrie's interpretations of Buddhist concepts appeals to me, but for most people this book will be less relevant than 'Tuesdays'. Having said that, Morrie remains a remarkable man and among his inspring lessons is one about accepting that we'll eventually all die, so we better learn to accept it and make the best of the days that are given to us. So, even the lessons in dying in this booklet will become relevant sooner or later. As such it certainly doesn't hurt to have this little booklet in your collection for when the time comes ...
