Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Tuesdays With Morrie: An old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson

Feels like a philosphy book with a really good story on top
I love how the dialouge is formatted along with how it is just written/spoken by the characters
I notice a lot of aspects from DBT/CBT therapy in here which I think is really interesting and cool. I like that those aspects are included because it helps make those ideas more digestable and accessible to understand.
God its so depressing in the beginning, but honestly, Morrie as a character and how he paints life, makes it NOT depressing. He just shares how life is, and how to accept death. His messages are extremely powerful.
Just so many important lessons and such good quotes that I'm gonna be carrying with me for the rest of my life. I really think that everyone can get one important takeaway from this book.

Hard to put down once you start, although the story itself feels kinda slow, its not because you're literally speeding through it that's how good this book is. Finished it in pretty much one day.

I'm glad that other people seem to like it a lot, but it's just not for me. Not a huge fan of Albom's style of writing, and how he chooses to frame a lot of scenes. Some parts aged very poorly, though not of any fault of Morrie's or the author's.

On the other hand, it made me think of the people in my life like Morrie, and I should reach out to them more.
