Recommended Books (Self Mastery) - Tuesday with Morrie

This is a simple book with simple messages. It's a reminder to appreciate the simple, little things in life. It's a reminder that when you're dead, the things you've accumulated and the things you've done will disappear. What will remain is the ways that you've affected or touched other people.

Live fully and in the moment. Treat others with respect, kindness, love, and dignity. Seek joy. However, these messages are easily lost given the constantly increasing pressures we all face. This book is a guide to a way that you can live your life where you'll be able to look back at the end and feel peace and contentment.

This is the true story of a man who spends the last weeks of his life leaving a message through recorded interviews with one of his students. The resulting book has luckily reached the world and graced the New York Times Bestseller list for well over a year.

Morrie is dying a disease known as ALS and his student Mitch, the author of this book has come back to spend quality time with him after 16 years spent in the business world. "Tuesday mornings" is their time together and Morrie, though paralyzed and gasping for every breath, is imparting knowledge till the end.
Over the years he has found a purpose and how to fill his life with joy. He has learned that it is not the material things in life that make it worthwhile, but the people and the giving, the feeling of being whole and a connection to the universe through participation.

This remarkable book is a best seller and continues to stay on the best seller list because in my opinion most people down deep understand the truth of Morrie's basic philosophy that people living exclusively in a materialistic world generally do so to replace what they feel is missing from their lives even though they may not be consciously aware, at the moment, of what precisely is "missing." I found out what I missed after spending some quality time with myself reading couple of such Self-Mastery book.

I encouraged you to read this book with an open heart and an open mind.

Experience a different kind of life,
