Dieser Titel ist in englischer Sprache.
Diese wahre Geschichte von der Liebe zwischen einem spirituellen Mentor und seinem Schüler ist aus vielen Gründen in der Bestsellerliste nach oben geschossen. Zum einen erinnert sie uns an die Zuneigung und Dankbarkeit, die viele von uns immer noch für die bedeutenden Mentoren unserer Vergangenheit hegen. Zum anderen spielt sie eine Phantasie durch, die vielen von uns im Kopf herumspukt: diese Leute wieder aufzusuchen, um ihnen zu sagen, was sie uns bedeutet haben, und vielleicht sogar die Beziehung wieder aufzunehmen. Außerdem lernen wir Morrie Schwartz kennen -- einen einmaligen Professor, den der Autor als eine Kreuzung zwischen einem biblischen Propheten und einem Weihnachtself beschreibt. Und schließlich werden wir in die intimen Momente der letzten Tage von Morrie eingeweiht, als er wegen einer unheilbaren Krankheit im Sterben liegt. Sogar auf seinem Sterbebett schafft es dieser ehrwürdige Mensch mit seinen funkelnden Augen, uns alles über ein bewußtes und gehaltvolles Leben beizubringen. Alle Achtung vor dem Autor und anerkannten Sportkolumnisten Mitch Albom, der uns diese universell-rührende Geschichte mit soviel Charme und Bescheidenheit erzählt. --Gail Hudson

Der Titelheld Morrie ist Morrie Schwartz, der 20 Jahre zuvor Alboms Universitätsprofessor gewesen war. Albom sah zufällig ein Interview mit Morrie in der Sendung Nightline, was schließlich dazu führte, daß er wieder mit seinem alten Lehrer, Freund und "Coach" zusammentraf. Albom, ein erfolgreicher Sportjournalist, kämpfte zu dieser Zeit damit, seine Unzufriedenheit mit seinem eigenen Leben und seiner Karriere zu definieren. Morrie, andererseits, litt nach einem gehaltvollen Leben voller Freunde, Familie, Unterrichten und Musik an der tödlichen Lou-Gehrig-Krankheit, ein lähmendes Leiden, das seine Aktivitäten von Tag zu Tag mehr einschränkte. Albom war einer von hunderten von früheren Studenten und Bekannten, die von weither kamen, um Morrie in den letzten Monaten seines Lebens zu besuchen.

Die 14 Dienstagsbesuche, die ihrem Wiedersehen folgten, schickten Albom -- und so wird es auch seinen Lesern gehen -- auf eine Reise, die ihm wieder die Augen öffnete für die Dinge, die ein Leben erfüllt machen. Die Geschichte ist in einem journalistischen Stil geschrieben, der niemals in Pathos übergeht. --Brenda Pittsley

This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters, it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? And we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. Finally, we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility. --Gail Hudson

Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, Women & Money addresses the complicated (and often dysfunctional) relationship women have with personal finance. Orman's direct, non-condescending style is perfect for this subject matter--she begins with the premise that "Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man" and then tackles the important question--"So why don't they?" Designed to educate and inspire, Women & Money also offers a "Save Yourself Plan," a five-month program that "delivers genuine long-term financial security." Want to know more? Watch a video message from Suze below, and take a gander at the first chapter of Women & Money--you'll be "controlling your destiny" in no time. --Daphne Durham

Read the First Chapter of Women & Money

For Women Only

I never thought I'd write a book about money just for women. I never thought it was necessary. So then why am I doing just that in my eighth book? And why now? Let me explain. All my previous books were written with the belief that gender is not a factor on any level in mastering the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. Women can invest, save, and handle debt just as well and skillfully as any man. I still believe that--why would anyone think differently? So imagine my surprise when I learned that some of the people closest to me in my life were in the dark about their own finances. Clueless. Or, in some cases, willfully resisting doing what they knew needed to be done. I'm talking about smart, competent, accomplished women who present a face to the world that is pure confidence and capability. Do you mean to tell me that I, Suze Orman, who make my living solving the financial problems of total strangers, couldn't spot the trouble brewing so close to home? I don't think I'm blind; I just think that these women became very, very good at hiding their troubles from me.Why not? They had years of practice hiding them from themselves.

Amazon Exclusive: Seth Godin Reviews Rework

Seth Godin is the author of Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, Purple Cow, All Marketers Are Liars, and Permission Marketing, as well as other international bestsellers. He is consistently one of the 25 most widely read bloggers in the English language. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of Rework:

This book will make you uncomfortable.

Depending on what you do all day, it might make you extremely uncomfortable.

That's a very good thing, because you deserve it. We all do.

Jason and David have broken all the rules and won. Again and again they've demonstrated that the regular way isn't necessarily the right way. They just don't say it, they do it. And they do it better than just about anyone has any right to expect.

This book is short, fast, sharp and ready to make a difference. It takes no prisoners, spares no quarter, and gives you no place to hide, all at the same time.

There, my review is almost as long as the first chapter of the book. I can't imagine what possible excuse you can dream up for not buying this book for every single person you work with, right now.

Stop reading the review. Buy the book.--Seth Godin
