The book ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ by Mitch Albom is a book about the author’s former college sociology professor, Morrie Schwartz. After finding out that Morrie terminally ill with a sickness called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Mitch Albom reconnects with Morrie after drifting apart. They start to have weekly meetings on tuesdays, and during those tuesdays he Morrie talk about his life and life lessons such as love, his job, family, forgiveness, and death. Mitch learns how to live a meaningful life and what to prioritize.

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and let it come in. It is not so much what you do in life, but how you do it, with love.” (p.52)

This quotation highlights Morrie’s belief that love is the most important part of life. He explains that it does not matter what you do, rather how you do it. He believes you should do everything with love and that love gives life meaning and reason.
