Changes in Latitude: An Uncommon Anthropology

By Mitch Albom

Format:Softcover

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

Man reflektiert sich selbst sehr und es ist eine schöne Art, wie die Geschichte erzählt wurde

MariaReviewed by Maria

Eine wunderschöne Geschichte über einen Mann, der selbst im Angesicht des Todes das Beste sieht. Eine Lebenseinstellung, die über Konsum, Leistungsdruck, Stolz und oberflächliches hinwegsieht und in den einfachen Dingen, Erfüllung findet. Ein einzigartiger Lehrer, der nie aufgehört hat, zu unterrichten. Ein stilles Buch mit lauten Wahrheiten.
