Description
At the age of seventy-seven, former sociology professor Morrie Schwartz learned that he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known in Britain as motor neurone disease: incurable, progressively disabling and eventually fatal. People with degenerative or terminal illness often withdraw but Morrie embraced his illness, choosing to live as fully as possible in the time he had left. He also embarked on this greatest teaching adventure: sharing his evolving knowledge of living and dying.--
Previously published as Letting Go, Morrie in His Own Words offers Morrie Schwartz's remarkable philosophy. He writes with great humour and compassion, combing wise aphorisms, inspiring lessons and practical advice to help those who have chronic or terminal illness and anyone close to them. This book will have a lasting impact on how you experience life, love, illness and death. ISBN:9780330436090
