There are more than 300,000 European childhood cancer survivors (in 2020, they will be nearly half a million): two-thirds of them have some late side effects of treatment, that are severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, “Tuesdays with Morrie” remains an enduring bestseller, a heartwarming testament to the transformative power of friendship, timeless wisdom, and the profound lessons that emerge from the experience of loss and grief. This special edition features a new afterword by the author, Mitch Albom.
In the words of the Los Angeles Times, “Tuesdays with Morrie” is a remarkable book that touches the soul with a narrative infused with heart and soul. At its core, it encapsulates a fundamental truth about life: “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
For many of us, there has been that one person in our lives—perhaps a grandparent, a teacher, a colleague—someone older, patient, and wise, who guided us during our formative years. They possessed the uncanny ability to understand our youthful confusion and dreams, helping us perceive the world through a more profound lens. Their sage advice became a guiding light as we navigated life’s challenges.
Mitch Albom found his guiding light in the form of his college professor, Morrie Schwartz. Yet, as often happens in life, Mitch lost touch with this mentor as he ventured into adulthood, and the insights and wisdom he had gained began to fade. The world seemed to grow colder, and the bigger questions that once haunted him were left unanswered.
But then, a remarkable twist of fate reunited Mitch with Morrie during the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing that his time was limited, Morrie initiated weekly visits with Mitch, mirroring their college days when they met every Tuesday. These reunions evolved into a final “class” of sorts, one that transcended the boundaries of academia to offer profound lessons on how to truly live.
Morrie’s teachings were simple yet profound: “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” “Tuesdays with Morrie” beautifully chronicles their extraordinary time together, as Mitch imparts Morrie’s enduring gift to the world.
This heartwarming memoir invites readers to reflect on their own lives and the mentors who have shaped them. It reminds us of the enduring value of human connection and the wisdom that can be gleaned from those who have lived and loved deeply. As Mitch Albom shares the remarkable insights he gained from Morrie, he invites us all to consider the preciousness of life and the significance of the relationships that enrich it.
In a world often marked by busyness and the pursuit of material success, “Tuesdays with Morrie” offers a poignant reminder of what truly matters: the love we give and receive, the wisdom we accumulate through shared experiences, and the profound lessons that emerge from our encounters with mortality.
