TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE

                                        LIFE LESSONS

Mitch and Morrie's most important lessons came at a time when Morrie's life had become affected by ALS, (Lou Gehrig's Disease). In the final weeks of his life, Morrie took Mitch out of the mainstream evils of media  and attempted to deflate Mitch's materialistic driven ego. During the fourteen weeks with each other, they embark on a journey together unveiling the cloak of deceit that lead to the false beliefs that the world has led the nature of man to be sucked into believing through social media. By initiating open communication and being in the moment Morrie shares how important it is to not be distracted from the person who is directly in front of you when communicating. As the Tuesdays continued with Morrie, Mitch realizes what an empty shell his life has become, and begins to feel and see how Morrie's process of detaching from the noxious worldly thoughts helping free Morrie of self and experience "one with life". In order to be free, Morrie tells Mitch that he baths in emotion in order to have the experience and be able to release it at the same time. I sum up this book in two words, "LIVE LOVE".
