Book Overview

"Holds wisdom not only for those struggling with a terminal or debilitating condition but also for family and friends who must come to grips with letting a loved one go." - BOOKLIST "A truly wonderful learning experience about how people should treat and live their life" AMAZON.COM customer The subject of three Ted Koppel interviews on Nightline, Morrie Schwartz became an inspiration to millions of viewers because of his willingness to talk openly about the intimate aspects of facing an imminent death. In 1994, at the age of 77, Morrie learned he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease: incurable, progressively disabling, eventually fatal. People with degenerative or terminal illnesses often withdraw, becoming too fearful or depressed to enjoy interacting with others. Morrie, however, embraced his illness, choosing to live as fully as possible in the time he had left. In this very personal memoir, he mixes his uplifting lessons with practical advice for those who have chronic or terminal diseases.
