Description
'To Morrie, life was a process of opening oneself lovingly - to other
people, to the world, ultimately to something larger than ourselves. To the
last instant, Morrie was full of wonder and joy. The way he lived his final
year was this great teacher's final lesson.' Paul Solman, from the
introduction At the age of seventy-seven, sociology professor Morrie
Schwartz learned that he had motor neurone disease: incurable,
progressively disabling and eventually fatal. Undaunted, he embraced his
illness, choosing to live as fully as possible in the time he had left. He
also embarked on his greatest teaching adventure, sharing his evolving
knowledge of living while dying. Previously published as "Letting Go,"
"Morrie in His Own Words" offers Morrie Schwartz's remarkable philosophy.
He writes with great humour and compassion, combining wise sayings,
inspiring lessons and practical advice, showing that it's never too late to
become the kind of person you'd like to be. This book is a magnificent
legacy of love, forgiveness, transcendence and redemption - a guide to
living fully to the end of your days.
