Allow me to begin by stating I was extremely impressed after reading this book, I was able to personally grow from Tuesdays with Morrie. What I received out of this book is the knowledge in love, respect and honesty, also realizing that not all will agree or believe in what your beliefs are. Morrie is the man in the book whom is dying of ALS which is a disease that eventually no longer allows you to have control of your own body functions, Morrie is meeting up with a student every Tuesday and from his point of view teaching but also learning so much from his student. Morrie knowing he is eventually going to die trasmits so much knowledge to his student, regarding respect, trust admiration and overall living life to the fullest expection of self. Generally I have trouble reading an entire book but for some reason Tuesdays with Morrie kept me so intrigued that I continued reading until believe it or not I completed it. I would truly advise anyone to give it a shot, believe me no matter what I can pretty much say you will definitely get something out of this reading.
