Tuesdays with Morrie
Author: Mitch Albom
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307414094
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author “A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” 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 his college professor Morrie Schwartz. 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. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn 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.

Visions, Trips, and Crowded Rooms
Author: David Kessler
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 140192543X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
David Kessler, one of the most renowned experts on death and grief, takes on three uniquely shared experiences that challenge our ability to explain and fully understand the mystery of our final days. The first is "visions." As the dying lose sight of this world, some people appear to be looking into the world to come. The second shared experience is getting ready for a "trip." The phenomenon of preparing oneself for a journey isn’t new or unusual. In fact, during our loved ones’ last hours, they may often think of their impending death as a transition or journey. These trips may seem to us to be all about leaving, but for the dying, they may be more about arriving. Finally, the third phenomenon is "crowded rooms." The dying often talk about seeing a room full of people, as they constantly repeat the word crowded. In truth, we never die alone. Just as loving hands greeted us when we were born, so will loving arms embrace us when we die. In the tapestry of life and death, we may begin to see connections to the past that we missed in life. While death may look like a loss to the living, the last hours of a dying person may be filled with fullness rather than emptiness. In this fascinating book, which includes a new Afterword, Kessler brings us stunning stories from the bedsides of the dying that will educate, enlighten, and comfort us all.

Life Lessons to Master Before You Die

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
This book is focused on helping you show up to life authentically. Most of us wear a mask our entire life and endure situations or relationships that aren't serving us. What would life be like if you cut the BS? If you truly healed? If you allowed what is meant for you? Became the best version of yourself?When you allow what is meant to be, you might be pleasantly surprised. You'll be forced to accept what is, rather than what you're expecting for your life. I know you're thinking, "But why would I want to do this?"The short answer: focusing on your future expectations, rather than reality, isn't really living. It's simply dreaming.As a psychologist, I've spent countless hours listening to people in their most vulnerable states. They've told me their deepest struggles, maybe things that they hadn't told anyone else. Now, of course, I will never go into detail about client specifics, but I couldn't help but notice several themes among the people I've treated. All of these people were from different cultures and had vastly different value systems. Yet, it was fascinating that the human experience had its parallels.I noticed when people were able to gain insight into certain patterns in their lives, they were able to overcome some pretty tough obstacles. They had these "ah ha" moments earlier in their life, and to my surprise, they were able to gain momentum in their lives relatively quickly. Most importantly, they had less regrets about their lives after acknowledging the situations they had to change.I compiled some of the most common themes I encountered in therapy, while considering the research and a spiritual perspective, and formulated this book, Life Lessons to Master Before You Die. Therapy can be seen as a mysterious and intimidating process, so I cut right to the chase and outlined these lessons in an easy-to-read format, with practical solutions to overcome them. I had a feeling most people would benefit from this, as many people in therapy seemed to struggle with similar problems.Uncovering life's patterns early on serves as a foundation for quicker healing. It's similar to having a cheat code in a video game. The sooner you find the cheat code, the quicker you can progress in levels or get to the finish line. But here, there is no finish line.Healing has no end. It's a transformative process that happens over and over again. This "cheat code" basically facilitates progress but isn't a magic wand. The point is to focus on the path that leads to healing, whether you reach the finish line or not. We see fulfillment in life when we take small steps in the right direction. It's about the journey (yes, I said it).Also, this book may sound morbid ("oh my gosh, will I really die one day!?"). It's a reminder that our time on earth is limited and it's never too late to be the best version of yourself. In fact, starting to work on yourself today can make the rest of your life the best years you've ever had. Cheers to having good things to say on your death bed rather than having regrets!
