Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom
Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom, is about a wise professor, Morrie, who teaches philosophy at a college. When diagnosed with AIS, his optimism overcomes his fear to die. One of his fellows students visit him every Tuesday. They talk about morals and ethies in daily life. Morris touches the heart of his ex-students also to cheer everybody else with his great attitude. But when Morrie dies, we all know his spirit never died.
In Tuesdays with Morrie, I learned a lot of ways of perceiving the world. It taught me how to be a better person. I learned a lot from this book. If you get this book too, you will also enjoy it. I guarantee you. It gave me an extra sense of optimism in life. So what I am saying, it's a great story and I highly recommend that you read it. It is appropriate for all ages. If you aren't surprised by it's great moral, I'll be shocked. But give it a try it is a great book.

Comments
I used to suffer from insomnia because of anxiety and a condition called Tinnitus--ringing in the ears, often said to be from the brain. I could relate so much with the professor and it was very comforting, but for people who don't suffer from anything it may be a good time to learn to know the life behind a person who suffers from a chronic illness and how he manages so well with the devastating disease. This is such an important book for society and helps us improve our lives and teaches us to be thankful for minor things in life.
