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.

《相约星期二》这本书听过好久了,在网上也零星看过一些片断,至于买来读~~那是因为在joyo购书要凑钱数免运费......这个阅读的理由可能让人唏嘘,有什么关系呢? 用了一个阳光灿烂的下午和一个宁静的晚上读完这本书的。在冬季暖暖的阳光下和作者一起体味死亡的临近,拿...
评分这是一本近来在美国异军突起的书。作者是一位热门体育记者、编辑、电台主持,他是一个忙碌且有些迷茫的成功人士。可是在其人生的巅峰,他突然在电视上看到自己的一位前教授。这位教授叫Morrie,由于肌肉萎缩症,身体从脚步向上一点点坏死,医生宣判他不久就要死亡。Morrie把这...
评分很推荐的书店书(就是在书店看完的书)。如果它是我读到的第一本谈谈生死的书,可能会更感动些。现在脑子里比这个壮烈或低回的东西太多,所以只是手上翻翻心里打挑。 看罗素的西方哲学史,柏拉图笔下的苏格拉底,“死了或活着,哪个更好,谁也不知道。”隔着迥异的文化,那种坦...
评分@如果你想对社会的上层炫耀自己,那就打消这个念头,他们照样看不起你。 如果你想对社会底层炫耀自己,也请打消这个念头,他们只会嫉妒你。 身份和地位往往使你无所适从,唯有一颗坦诚的心方能使你悠悠然地面对整个社会。 @超脱并不是说不投入到生活中去。相反,你应该完完全...
评分用了一个星期,把米奇 阿尔博姆的《相约星期二》看完了,这是一个老人,在逐步走向死亡的过程中,给我们所有人上的一堂关于爱的人生哲学课。它关于婚姻,关于家庭,关于原谅.........我相信很多看过它的人,都曾经或多或少的被它感动,有所启发。 贯穿整本书的两个线索...
