Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

看了《相约星期二》,余秋雨写的序应该放在书的最后,而不是首页。他还是这样,什么东西都要说的那么清楚和结论性。也许跟他做学者和做老师有关系,不给读者留一丝空间,生怕没说清楚你应该如何看如何想如何做,把所有人当学生,同时顺便感叹自己这一生,并且总是嘴硬地说,不...
评分《相约星期二》 课程的开始 "我们的文化并不让人心安理得,你需要十分坚强,如果这种文化没有用,就别去接受它,建立你自己的文化。 不知什么原因,每次我读到那些无聊的东西,我就会想起莫里,我脑子里老是出现他那栋长着日本漆树且铺着硬木地板的房子里数着他呼吸的次数,...
评分生活是持续不断的前进和后退。你想做某一件事,可你又注定要去做另一件事。你受到了伤害,可你知道你不该受伤害。你把某些事情视作理所当然,尽管你知道不该这么做。反向力,就像是橡皮筋上的移动。我们大多数生活在它的中间。最后哪一方会赢?爱会赢。爱是永远的胜者。 许多人...
评分一口气看完这本书之后的很久,还能清楚地记得书开始的时候列举的关于这一门课的要求。没有课本。教室在教授的书房。主题是生命的意义。没有考试。课后拥抱你的教授或在他额头上亲吻可以给你赢得额外的学分。 这是怎样的一门课。一位老者用自己生命的最后十四个星期的时间向他...
