Lessons in living is what life is all about. Ted's interviews with Morrie bring life to the forefront. My only wish is that I never met with Morrie Schwartz. What two wonderful men

Lessons on Living

Absolutely a priceless documentary which we all will be able to relate to since we all must someday face our own death and/or that of those we love. These interviews by Ted Koppel with Morrie give a wonderful view of a wonderful older man's experience of the downhill slope of ALS and his impending death. His expression of his thoughts with such great honesty and insight are priceless and life-changing. Since my daughters' father at age 57 was just diagnosed with ALS and is already using a wheel chair, I got the DVD for them to see. They really felt appreciative and comforted in a bittersweet way from seeing this one of a kind documentary of Morrie. They both also read the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" which is also a "must read"!!

GOOD PURCHASE !!

I read "Tuesdays with Morrie" and was very curious to see what Morrie looked like, as well as seeing the "real" Morrie. What a special man!! Ted Koppel was one of my favorite interviewers. It was nice to see the soft spot Ted had for Morrie. This DVD gives you the opportunity to see Morrie in all his modest greatness. He must have been an exceptional teacher/professor.

outstanding

I am very happy with my purchases. This addition reinforces all the positive points of the movie. I believe this dvd along with the movie Tuesdays with Morrie should be in every families movie collection. I first saw the movie when first presented by Oprah years ago. It definitely helped me to look at life with a new pair of eyes.
