Description

"Learn how to live and you'll know how to die; learn how to die, and you'll
know how to live." In these remarkable pages are the profound, life-
affirming words of Morrie Schwartz as he faced his own imminent death. In
1994, at the age of seventy-seven, Schwartz learned he had ALS, commonly
known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Undaunted, the former professor embraced his
illness, choosing to live passionately and calmly until the end. He also
embarked on his greatest teaching adventure: sharing his evolving knowledge
of living while dying. With warmth, wisdom, and humor, Morrie reveals how
to: -- live fully in the moment -- tap into the powers of the mind to
transcend physical limitations -- grieve for your losses -- reach out to
family and friends -- develop an inner space for meditation and spiritual
connection. It's never too late to become the kind of person you'd like to
be. Morrie shows the way in his magnificent legacy of love, forgiveness,
transcendence, and redemption, a guide to living fully to the end of your
days. Morrie's willingness to talk about his illness made him an
inspiration. In 1995Nightlineran three interviews in which Ted Koppel spoke
to Morrie about life, death and the disease that was afflicting his body.
InMorrie: In His Own Words,Morrie combined inspiring lessons with practical
advice to help those who have chronic or terminal sickness and to help
those close to them maintain healthy emotions and loving relationships. As
life-affirming as it is life-releasing,Morrie: In His Own Wordswill have a
profound effect on generations of readers.
