  • the writing that keeps appearing is sooo annoying!

  • My class is reading this book and I gotta say, I really don't agree with him on very much. But I applaud his intent. He was a sweet man, charming, caring, loving. Only good things can be said about him. However, I disagree with many of his beliefs. Not the basic ones, I mean the "status will get you nowhere" beliefs. I agree that that SHOULD be the case, but in our society, sadly, it is not.

  • i love this guy and i lve that book , awesome

  • This man is my entire inspiration and the reason i get up in the morning is to try and be like him

  • 'Fred- I mean- Ted'..... too funny!

  • i'm literally reading the book while watching these videos and as i read, "well, Fred, i mean ted" he said it in the video...OMG YAY!!!

  • in just listening to his voice made me cry

  • his words are my faith and i really believe in them!

  • I just finished reading the book for summer reading, and all i can say is how much he has inspired me to be someone in life. I want to help other people, and this book is truly inspiring, and i will always admire Morrie throughout my life

  • Morrie Schwartz is the most stellar old man ever!1

  • since i saw this interview back when it first aired, the story of the ocean and the wave as told by morrie schwartz has had a profoundly positive effect of my outlook in life.

  • "Wish I was ocean size, they cannot move you man - no one tries No one pulls you out from your hole, like a tooth aching a jawbone..."

    Jane's Addiction - "Ocean Size"

    Morrie is an ocean.

  • Each night when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.

  • @doubledeeder mahatma gandhi :)

  • "Your not a wave. Your part of the ocean." Taken word for word in his book. When he said this in the video about, I felt chills go down my spine. Awe Inspiring.

  • Morrie makes me want to make the best of myself, and live life best u can. I deeply wish I had met Morrie. He is one of my hero and I look up to him.

  • I just finished reading tuesdays with Morrie. :'( I didn't think he'd get me. but after so many years he's still able to get into someone

  • i am a freshman in highschool and i am currently writing an essay for a project on this book. Recently my grandfather has passed away and morries story really helped me to accept my grandpas passing. i truthfully think that this is a lesson that everybody should know.

  • What's with the words continually flashing over the center of the screen? Really disruptive.

  • I read this book in my last year of High school just on my own time. I'm not a reader, but I could not put it down. After reading it, Ii completely changed the way I think, the way I act. I desired to follow my passion for photography and now am in college for Photojournalism. This man changed my life....and I wish I could have had the chance to thank him....and I day I will

  • I love you Mr. Shwartz... I wish you had been my professor.

  • I'm so glad my English teacher forced me to read "Tuesdays with Morrie". It was amazing.

  • @theabstractprecision yeah me too were reading it right now

  • i just finished the book.. it was AMAZING.

  • You were right Morrie, you are still here being part of the ocean.

  • He is beautiful.

  • Which God do you believe you will go to??

    there are many many gods that religions believe equally that their god exists.

    He is deluded on that part of life.

  • As a freshman in college i am assigned "tuesdays with morrie" (please excuse the errors.) it has become more than an assignment to read this book. i love this book, this man, and his thoughts and... and everything god bless morrie.

  • @electro243 hey. you go to CCSF?

  • @12o1 No i dont =(

  • Thank Your Morrie for helping me learn to Love and Forgive my Self along with Forgiving and Loving Others. You have such an impact on my life by reading the book Mitch wrote. I read it in my grade 11 ELA class. Im 22 years old and ive been trying to find the answers to life. Tuesdays with Morrie has answered all my Questions. Thank you Mitch and Morrie. God Bless Morries Spirit :)

  • I had to read this book for school as a summer reading project, and I am not a fan of reading. At first, the book was just another stupid assignment I had to complete. But once I read the first page, I knew it wasn't just a book, it was a life lesson that we all should learn and embrace. The book was inspiring to me and I hope more people read it and get what I got out of it.

  • @Master11782 Exactly the same as me :O Amazing book!

  • part of the ocean, part of the ocean.

  • I'm so glad that I've read Albom's book and very impress see this interview on youtube....Morrie is such a passionate old man,, i wish he was my professor too,, he not only teach albom lessons but also the audience who read the book as well....

  • i love Morrie.

    He is my hero.

  • What a great man! Everyone needs to read the book

  • what an inspiring and truthful man and book I just finished reading it today and cried a couple of times I wish that we could all be more like him in all aspects thank you Morrie wherever you are in this large "ocean" for enlightening us with your honesty, love, compassion, and gratitude. God bless you

  • i read the book many years ago and that was one of my favorite book, a kind of book that I would want my soon to be children to read and learn from... it is just now I watched the movie, goshh, my tears flowed like a flood all throughout the film I cried especially the touching lines and scenes, thank you so much moorie, indeed you were a man full of wisdom and you were such a blessing even to this day and the generations to come!

  • Just finished reading the book...still can´t stop crying... What a beautifull soul!!!

    Thanks so much!!!

  • the only thing i expected differently was his voice, other than that Mitch got him down

  • When does he say, Someone will have to wipe my ass

  • they way he is described in the book is woow.....he is exactly what i imagined

  • watched this in english

  • he's right! he lives on! <3 Morrie!

  • i wish he's my grandpa..

  • he is a good man

  • this is the most beautiful and moving book that has possibly ever existed. if we could all love and live like morrie did, wouldnt the world just be perfect?  RIP MORRIE SHWARTZ

  • Morrie is like, my BIGGEST hero <3

  • Wow, I wish I could have just sat and listened to him all day. I'm glad he did these interviews with Koppel and I'm so glad that Albom wrote his book!

  • i love this man, though i never met him personally.. tuesdays with morrie is a fave book of mine.. there, u'll learn a lot of life's lessons.. he's really a great man and teacher..

  • I read Tuesdays With Morrie at a bus station(for some reasn I got stuck thre for more thn an hour),I was so moved by it I was crying halfway through tht I didn't notice people givng me the what-the-hell-is-she-crying-ov­er? look(which,btw,I wud have found embarassing under such circumstance),& yet the experience was so liberating for true to Morrie's words,it's ok to cry. I just wishd my sister (d 1 who gave me the book)thought of addng a P.S. saying"Be sure to hav a dozen box of kleenx at hand!"

  • Morrie passed away when I was barely a year old. I really wish I could have met him. Although I never got the honor to meet him, much like most of the people who have fallen in love with this kind old man... I feel like I do know him. Just goes to show how special Morrie was. He did live on, in all of our hearts, in all of our lives. Thank you, Morrie.

  • @SweetxLoveable

    i like ur comment its nice..

    i dont even meet Morrie but feels like i knew him for long ... he's a good soul... i love the book "Tuesdays w/ Morrie" and the movie aswell.. made me teary tho .. lol ! TEARS ARE OKAY as like Morrie Said ;))

  • I can't possibly convey how much this man has inspired me in words. He was a great man. I never met him but you wouldn't have to, to know that.

  • I have an English project where I have to interview someone and then compare their answers with Morrie's thinking. What are some questions I could ask?

  • I'm also a senior who just finished reading Tuesdays With Morrie. Great book, I want to read Albom's other books now.

  • An awesome book!!! How inspiring.

  • Having just read "Tuesdays" for the second time, it's very nice to put a voice to all those wonderful words...

  • i sometimes wonder when ppl die, do they really understand what they have done for this world. what lessons they have taught us, its amazing that there are 96 comments about this man and i can almost bet he has never met one of us, but yet, look at the lessons he has taught us. look at how many strangers love this man for what he has taught us. he was a wonderful man and i hope his lessons of life and death will live for ever.

  • man this guy r0cks! i wish i got the chance to meet him and talk to him about everything! too sad he's dead. we'll that's life.

  • I Finished reading the Book 5 min, ago OMG this is the Best Story Ever and i cant wait to see the Movie

  • is there any movie for him ?!

  • yes its called "tuesdays with morrie"

  • Yes, there's a movie at blockbuster, but try to get it asap since most blockbusters are shutting down.

  • i have  movie lol

  • i know about that its in 1999 , i thought they gonna do another movie .

    thanks.

  • omg.i finished reading the book about a week ago and my friend gave me this link and omg it's really touching.

  • morrie is awesome

  • It's not to late to... ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be.

  • a lot of people are doing that by trying to be someone their not...

  • He's absolutely correct. It's a shame we never have time to think about what life REALLY means. We suppress feelings.

  • Gah I loved Tuesdays With Morrie! I had to read it in my Psyic. class this semister....he is such an inspiration to us all!! Just seeing him on here gives me chill bumps because his story touched me so much :) I cried so much when I read that book!

  • i was hit hard by the novel as well. However i wore my emotions on my sleeves due to being in a class with a bunch of delinquents. Having a grandparent being taken by ALS and actually living the 'luxuries' that Morrie lived in his last days, it gave me an idea of what happens in the days before our passing.

    I love this man! When i get the chance, I am visiting his grave.

  • I think I just might join you. That's a great idea.

  • a lot youths have to read his book in school? interesting..

    do they appreciate it? =/

  • I did, and I do.

  • It gave a new perspective, but not gonna change my life that drastically.

  • atleast u got something out of it

    i think morries message is simply "be loving"

  • I'm a senior and high school and I just finished reading this book yesterday. We were required by the english 12 department to read said book. And thank God they did. It's incredible.

  • That's a good idea, to visit his grave.Where is it?

  • this is such an amazing story. when i found out i had to read it for school i wasnt to thrilled, but once i started, i could not put it down. its such a good book, and i feel like anyone can relate to it because almost everyone knows someone who died. I wish Morrie didnt have to go through all that pain, he seemed like amazing teacher & man.

    :)

  • oh man... i read the book and i couldn't stop reading it. i had to cry while i was on flight. it's THE book that i want to put next to me when i'm dying. really taught me lots of lessons

  • u should take that ad away cause that is so disrespectful

  • take the ad away, its disrespectful

  • Morrie was an amazing man, and it's wonderful that we get to see this actual interview...

    one thing though...what does the middle keep flashing with?

  • Comment removed

  • i love this book!!! my all time favourite!!!

  • i cried like a baby when i read this. Amazing, Amazing, Amazing book.

  • "The subject was the meaning of life. It was taught from experience.

    The teaching goes on."

  • Why aren't there more people like Morrie on this planet? When I read the book 2 years ago, it changed my life. I'm reading it again, and that's where I got the idea to look up this interview. I'm glad to finally see the face to which the wise character in the book belongs.

  • Love you Morrie :'-)

  • do they have any of the interviews that they really did? just wondering cuz i don't want to see teh movie version cuz you know... kind of ironic.

  • That is the real interview!

  • kay just wondering.

  • I just finished the book! Its not long, but I feel like I need to read it a couple more times to really be able to consume all that it has to offer.

  • I read this book in 1 day. I might just need one more read to absorb it all, most of it I got in the first read. Hey, I'm growing wiser!!

  • If u dont like it,then dont make insulting comments on it.. no one wants to know about your hatred and bitterness and making Morrie's fans feel bad about it... He give hope to people like us, learn to understand that..

  • ok, i didn't really like it because i find fantasy a little more interesting than stuff that can actually happen. I was over reacting, it wasn't that bad. it was a good story. sorry i affended you.

  • it's alright..thank you. i just felt bad when horrible words like that are said to a very nice man who become an inspiration to all helpless people..

  • all helpless people? i don't think u get his message then...

  • okay if you dont like the book, FINE! but you dont have to comment it here... better shut up if you cant say anything good... shame on you... im not an english speaker nor an english man but i was able to absorb anything that was written in there even with the culture differences... i got so many lessons about life from that book and i hope you can appreciate it one day!

  • Kewl.

  • ohh my goshh. so touchingg! im reading tuesdays with morrie =[ i read something today and i almost started cryinggg

  • What is the anoying ad thats coming into the screen and cannot even be read because it is so small?

  • seriously. i appreciate the posted video, but that ad really detracts.

  • I am reading the book made about him right now..I think its going to be a little hard,

    beacause I just lost my dad about a month ago from cancer, he quit breathing, but he got very sick just like Morrie. Its very sad. do not take your family for granted.. you dont know how long they'll be there, even reading this book will be VERY sad..

  • what kind of nonsensical comment is this?

  • You are nuts.

  • love the movie, haven't read the book, love this with ted koppel, but, wish the website didn't flash every 3 seconds, cuz it is annoying and redirects my attention from what morrie is saying. everyone should see the movie, jack lemmon is excellent in it.

  • An Amazing man.

  • jesse6669, grow up. for 28 years old you act like a freak show, read your website..no wonder why the world is turning out like it is, cuz they have awful thinking and crazy minded people like you. sounds like you just want attention....too bad you dont put you mind into talking nicely and using your words, interests etc..maturely and responsibly.

  • its sad that morrie died, but its strange how accepting he was about it

  • I wish i had been able to talk to him! Right now we are reading Tuesdays With Morrie in class it has really touched me!

  • I wish I had the chance to speak with Morrie Schwartz, however, I am so thankful for that book. Sooo grateful.

  • This talking to us when he was wasting away from ALS was his purpose in life IMHO...I think God sent him to us for this very purpose.

  • Tuesdays with Morrie is such a great book, I wish i met the man himself..

  • kakaiyak ung book..,

  • I read tuesdays with morrie in less than two hours, it changed my life.

  • how did you read that in less than two hours??

  • I'm sort of a really really really fast reader.

  • Show me how to read that fast

  • the book is short i read 90 pages in like an hour lennox isnt a super hero

  • The book really isnt that long. I read it, originally in like an hour.

  • i had to read the book "tuesdays with morrie" and i have to write a critical lense essay about it. i love his aphorism: "don't let go too soon but don't hang on too long.  find the balace."

  • this is the real "Ted Koppel" show where Morrie Schwartz apparently starred, as said in Tuesdays with Morrie? is this the real one? sorry im not anywhere near america so i dunno. but i love the book

  • Im reading this book in class right now.

  • What a wonderful book Tuesdays With Morrie is. I've read it three times now, and the part where Mitch's wife sings "The very thought of you" to Morrie brings a tear to my eyes; such a poignant moment. What a credit to humanity Morrie was, and what a loss to us all

  • I just finished reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" and I loved it. The book made me rethink a lot things in life, and this Morrie grew to be one of the people I admire in life, simply because he dealt with his death with such class. He was amazing, and I recommend that everyone should read "Tuesdays with Morrie" simply because, its a book that takes the complexity of life, and makes it more simpler.

  • Im reading Tuesday with Morrie, I just started and I just read this scene

  • Morrie, you're the man! We miss you here on Earth. Old dudes ROCK! :)

  • It´s fascinating how something made out of paper, with letters in it, can make a grown man cry. I loved the book, the simple but strong message it conveyed. I didn´t want to read the last chapter for a while since I knew how it would end. It´s actually the first book ever I haven´t read the last chapter in, the first thing I did...

    Thank you Morrie, you are missed and loved!

  • Morrie reminds me so much of my grandfather. He knows very little English, but the things that he says in his native tongue can be rather thoughtful and possibly mindblowing. One problem however, is that very few people listen to what he has to say, because of Morrie, I will listen much more intently to what my grandfather has to say.

  • It's great that the book taught a lesson like that to you even though the man teaching it is gone. It really makes you think.

  • I am doing a thesis based on tuesdays with morrie... the best book by far. He was and still is one of the most remarkable people who has ever exsisted.

  • Tuesdays with Morrie is a thesis itself

  • I have to do a thesis too. And I must say, doing it will be enjoyable, because it will help you to understand this great book more.

  • "I'll try to find a way to take advantage of silence, because maybe that's the way to really hear yourself."

    --Morrie In His Own Words (Morrie Schwartz)

    Another highly un-American characteristic (in my opinion), another pearl from Morrie. He does have much to offer the world, as he laments towards the end of this clip..

  • This is the most amazing book I have ever read. Morrie is with me spiritually and has changed my life.

  • This man, Morrie, is one of the small group in my family of spiritual and mental role models.

  • It's amazing how accurately Mitch Got everything man, this is awesome, excellent book.

    Funny how I read the book and I don't feel sorry for Morrie now, what an awesome awesome guy.

    Morrie = one of my (many) heroes.

  • "Well fred...uh, Ted...uh ha!"

    "Now that's inducing humility!"

    Funny! R.I.P. Morrie...

  • yea my teacher gave me this book and i was thinking o lucky me another dumb book but boy was i wrong i really actually enjoyed this book

  • I just read the book for two days..it's so touching and full of timeless lessons. What gave me goosebumps is when i finished reading the book on November 4th..his death anniversary :)

  • the valuable timeless wisdom provide the best bless ...

  • my favorite quote of his "I'm not a wave. I'm part of the ocean."

  • yeah, I agree! We are part of humanity and/ or a whole of certain power ...

  • these have made my day so much better. thank you so much...brought tears to my eyes
