Tuesday with Morrie - Mitch Albom (二手8成新 RM10 不包邮)

Photo: 书评:Tuesday with Morrie - Mitch Albom  (二手8成新 RM10 不包邮)

这本书其实并不在我这个月的阅读书单里面,而一直放在我的办公桌。午餐的时间,我有时会翻个几页,慢慢被里面的内容吸引而决定在这个周末把这本书看完。

这样的书不像是我会买的类型,而是我的mentor在4个月前送我的礼物。我们相互都会推荐彼此一些好看的书,而这本据她所说是一本领略人生的好书。说是心灵励志类的书但却也好像小说,说是小说可是里面又充满着人生的大道理。

贴切来说是一本回忆录,一本记录着作者和他的教授间的感情,和如何陪伴教授度过他人生最后的十四个星期。作者在大学期间和其教授有着深厚的感情。可在毕业过后,忙着追求自己的目标,忙着赚更多的钱因而没有和教授保持联络一直到他知道教授患病的消息。

自此,作者在每个星期二都会和教授进行一次对话,就好像回到大学时期的时候。虽然知道自己命不久已,可教授不仅仅对自己的学生倾囊相授,也对朋友甚至陌生人提供协助,希望在蜡烛熄灭以前尽自己的能力帮助别人。

每个星期二,这对师徒的对话涵盖人生许多重大的课题:如何看待世界,悔恨,死亡,恐惧,老化,贪婪,婚姻,家庭,社会价值,原谅和有意义的人生。详细的内容我想让读者自己慢慢的体会。

可谈谈这本书对我的启发。我们仿佛花太多的时间在和负面情绪纠缠,嫉妒,怨恨,不满,埋怨等等。可人们总要到生命的倒数阶段可能体认到这些其实都不重要了,到了生命的尽头,能留下的只有感情。教授认为自己幸运,虽然生命最后的时刻不良与行,甚至需要看护和家人帮他擦屁股,他却认为能够在死之前再作一次婴儿,是幸福的。因为知道自己的生命在慢慢的消逝,因此他能在生命划下句点之前见那些生命中重要的人甚至可以在蜡烛熄灭之前尽能力帮助需要的人。对他来说,这样的死亡是幸运的。

很喜欢里面的两句话,如果你不懂得如何面对死亡,你也就不懂得如何面对生活。我们一直在追求更好,更高的物质享受是因为我们根本不知道人生真正的价值是什么。

虽然是英文书,不过里面的用字很浅白,如果想要提高自己的英文能力,这本算是相对入门的书。我很幸运,因为我可以看完这本书和在此跟大家分享!

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.

It’s been ten years since Mitch Albom first shared the wisdom of Morrie Schwartz with the world. Now–twelve million copies later–in a new afterword, Mitch Albom reflects again on the meaning of Morrie’s life lessons and the gentle, irrevocable impact of their Tuesday sessions all those years ago. .
