i hope i have a mentor like morrie..




great words, i agree with you ,, likeeeeeeeeeeeee





this is probably the best book i've ever read.

It is incredible that a man who knows for certain that he will die a horrible death can be so positive about it. Of course, he has his bad days, and he gets depressed, but he has a system of friends and family to "kick him in the butt," and remind him this is not the way he wants to be. He was a social psychologist for many years, and a lot of his book seems to draw on that background. his book is kind of like cognitive behavioral therapy for the soul.
I have been posting pieces of his wisdom on my blog about Bipolar Disorder; the ones that apply equally to physical and mental illness, and it is one of the favorite posts on the blog.
It really is an interesting look at a man who is dying, but knowing that certainty has made the choice to live each of his last days to the fullest.

Will read :)






That is very good to know. I would love to see it!!



can appreciate the book from a personal view. She, my niece was an amazing young woman. Hard way to die.....

Thank you for the tip -- I marked this book down for a "to read"!!



I didn't care much about death then. I just knew everyone will die and there's no way I would be exempted. But after reading the book, I was moved to examine how I am living my life. I realized that our goal is really not to live forever, but to create something that will.

I was about to say this...
the book's one of the most interesting books I have ever read.=)

So glad to have seen this thread, I didn't know Morrie wrote is own book about it, as well. Must read! Thanks for the information =)
