Book- Tuesdays with Morrie
author- Mitch Albom
publisher- Paul Weiss
year published-1977
Precis- Morrie is becoming worse and Mitch is becoming more and more concerned. He feels terrible about Morries death creeping closer. They're meetings become more insightful and Mitch is motivated to change his life styles. This book is becoming repetitive.
“Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I’m sitting here dying, when you need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling your looking for, no matter how much of it you have.” pg 125
“The truth is you don’t get satisfaction from those things you know what really gives you satisfaction? What? Offering others what you have to give” pg 126
To be completely honest, this book is getting on my nerves. Yes it's insightful and shows a different view on illness and dying but it's very repetitive. Morrie is saying the same things over and over again, it's a good book but someone wouldn't have to read the whole book to get the point.
