Book summary – Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom


Book summary – Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Tuesdays with Morrie
                                                                     By Mitch Albom
                    2012 Reprint, 192 pp - £7.99
                   Published by Sphere, UK.

          The book’s sub-title, ‘An old man, a young man and life’s greatest lesson’, itself is an indication of the philosophical harvest the book has on offer.  And the reader is not disappointed.

          The book is a tribute to a teacher, who shared more than his academic expertise with his students.  There is a plethora of one-line aphorisms which are to be remembered forever.  If you have already read this book, you may feel you are reading it again.  I have summarised what appealed to me the most.
