Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom, I picked this book from preloved book because I’m curious about the line “an old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson” because I was looking for something that could inspire me, and this book felt like the right place to start.

This book shares Mitch Albom’s conversations with his former professor, Morrie Schwartz, who was living with ALS. Every Tuesday, Mitch visits Morrie to learn about life’s biggest questions: death, fear, aging, love, family, society, forgiveness, and what it truly means to live with purpose. It’s simple, honest, and incredibly human. And as a young person, it gave me a completely new perspective on what truly matters.

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.”

“Which side wins?”

“Love wins. Love always wins.”

I love this part because it changed how I see life. It reminds me not to take anything for granted. Life will always pull us in opposite directions, but choosing love is what keeps us steady, grounded, and true to ourselves.

This book is perfect for anyone seeking clarity, warmth, or a reminder of what a meaningful life looks like. Every conversation between Mitch and Morrie is filled with gentle, honest lessons.
