Summary: Some Good Stuff
Review: After reading Tuesday's with Morrie, I was curious to see how different Morrie in His Own Words was from Mitch Albums Tuesday's. After reading both, I preferred the lessons straight from the horses mouth. Morrie's

Summary: Its worth the Change in your life.
Review: I can tell you this with all honesty - if you're restless, edgy, wondering what the hell is wrong with you when you've got a comfy, cushy life & job & friends & material goods, read this book. It's life-changing and makes you re-evaluate your priorities. My colleague told me about this book - one of the few that she reads that has nothing to do with work, btw - and told me I had to read this. Being in an industry (IT) that always shifts beneath our feet (sometimes more often than the tetonic plates below our Earth surface!), it relays a different message that begs the reader - and thinker - to reorganize his/her life, loves & priorities. I read it during the lunch hour and came back calling up my close friends and telling them I love them and that I want to see them more often.Now, THAT'S a book with a difference.

Summary: A beautiful book
Review: I read "Tuesdays With Morrie", but this book is much more meaningful as it was written by Morrie himself. I read it quickly, but marked a lot of passages. End of life experiences and dying are subjects that I deal with each day. How I wish that people would read Morrie's book and put things in proper perspective. It seems that people die without really living. Morrie didn't and for this I thank him. This should be required reading for anyone who deals with terminally ill persons.

Summary: Morrie delights me
Review: I've got "Tuesdays with Mirror" as a gift from my ex-boss when I quited from the previous job. Now I do want to thank you her. It's such a wonderful gift. Actually, I'm a kind of person who doesn't normally read a kind of book like this but when the first time I read it, I could hardly put it down. Morrie got me as like he got Mitch. While I was reading, I was curious what will happen in the end and questioned to myself if there was a man kind like this in the World!! Yes, there was. Here he is. Morrie is sweet, gentle, nice and worm. That's the way I felt from the book. His words are so simplicity and do touch my heart. I wish, for the rest of my life, I could live and see the world like him just some of his parts!! Thank you Morrie & Mitch for a wonderful thesis and thank you again, Mitch, for letting us touch his soul and know this wonderful old man, Morrie Schwartz.

Summary: Morrie changed my life!
Review: Morrie was a wise man. He knew a lot about how to live as well as how to die, that is, to face death. I learnt a lot about leading a better life in this book. I learnt to open my heart and give love to others. One should treat oneself better but at the same time, care for others. These all seemed very general, heard, and are not special. However, if we all carry out these acts, lives would be better for sure. In Morrie¡¦s case, it was unfortunate for him to have this disease. Grieving and accepting your misfortune were what Morrie instructed, in order to relieve the pain facing the misfortune, whatever it is. Morrie quoted a Buddhist statement, ¡§when you're young, everybody knows they¡¦re going to die and nobody believes it.¡¨ That is true! You won't think ¡¥I'm going to die.¡¦ That's why when people got illness, they become very depressed and cannot accept it. At the end of the book, he told a story about a wave in the ocean. The story really brought me some degree of enlightenment. I¡¦m not going to tell the story, I hope you will read it yourself. It¡¦s never too late to be who you want to be or to live how you want to live. Please, get a copy now. You'll be amazed.

Summary: Depressingly uplifting
Review: Morrie: In His Own Words is an interesting account of what a man with ALS goes through to mentally keep himself sane. If you're dying, it is a good way to live the remaining time left and, if you are not facing death, it is good way to live the remaining time left. Don't expect earth shattering advice, though. These are simple truths, exposed by a life-long sociologist (turned psychologist in this work). What it does for those who are not facing death, is give you a real picture of what it could be like in the end, so start livin'. A good wake up call for anyone who doesn't think well of themselves or their life situation.

Summary: Morrie: In His Own Words
Review: Morrie: In His Own Words teaches his last lessons. Jonathan Marosz brings a straightforward narration to this educator's thoughts. Like his previous audio, this one gives the listener a crack in the world of Morrie. Filled with chestnuts of wisdom that we have all seemed to forget, Morrie speaks them.

Summary: Morrie: In His Own Words
Review: This book is truely a wonderful learning experience about how people should treat and live their life. Its words of wisdom are stated by an old dying man named Morrie Schwartz suffering from ALS which helps him better to understand himself and add to his prospective of living and dying in addition to his other life experiences. They boil down mainly to being more open and loving(telling more would ruin the magic of reading it). I am a living testament that the advice Morrie has to offer works like a charm for it has made me a better person to myself and around others by practicing what he says as much as a can to a certain extent. As a book it is very easy to read and understand. However what took one point of this book is its originality(thanks to Tuesday's With Morrie, which has almost the exact same theme and lessons).
