"Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson" by Mitch Albom

"Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson" by Mitch Albom

If you only read one book in your lifetime, I would recommend Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie". It's my favorite book to date because it's a heart felt true account of the author's last days with his dying professor and more importantly, a story that anyone who works 9 to 5 (or who considers himself/herself a "corporate prisoner") can identify with. And while "Tuesdays with Morrie" may not sound nearly as interesting as books with religious controversy, evil wizards being thwarted or money making tips, I feel that it offers something even bigger and better.

The book begins with Albom swearing to never end up like his uncle who "had worked for a corporation and hated it-same thing, every day" (16). However, the lure of society's advertised values prove to be too much and like many of us, Albom tries to find meaning in his life by pursuing the next car, the next house and the next job (136). In fact, Albom says "I had become too wrapped up in the siren song of my own life. I was busy. What happened to me?...I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it...I had been in Detroit for ten years now, at the same workplace, using the same bank, visiting the same barber...My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied" (33 & 34). At first glance, one may think Albom has everything a person could possibly want in life: a loving wife, a successful career, a house on a hill, cars, stocks, and even makes more money than he can imagine (16), yet his life lacks meaning and fulfillment, and it's only through reconnecting with his former professor that he's able to learn "life's greatest lesson".
