Tuesdays with Morrie touched countless hearts and inspired millions around the world to try to live better lives. Now, almost three decades later, a new book, The Wisdom of Morrie, written by Morrie Schwartz and edited by his son, Rob, reintroduces us to the man whose wisdom and humanity left an indelible mark. Morrie Schwartz was a writer and a professor of sociology. Late in life he developed Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS. Having seen Morrie on television, talking about his terminal illness, the writer Mitch Albom reconnected with his former professor and began visiting him every Tuesday. They talked about life and death - love, happiness, regret, aging, family, forgiveness, and spirituality. Morrie died, at the age of 78, in 1995. Based on their conversations, Albom wrote Tuesdays and it became a best-seller. Posthumously, Morrie enjoyed a global following and was loved around the world.In this interview, Rob Schwartz reveals how he discovered his late father's completed manuscript for a book on how to live and age well.  He tells us how he set about editing Morrie's words, which explore questions of identity, meaning, purpose, and humanity.  He also shares his thoughts on his dad's unique legacy.   Photos: Courtesy, The Schwartz familyTopics covered in this conversation with Rob Schwartz include: The cultural impact of Tuesdays With Morrie How the book became a global phenomenon How Rob edited his father's unpublished writings, in The Wisdom of Morrie. How this treasure trove of insights aims to help people of any age live more joyfully and creativelyThe value of being intentional about our actions and thoughtsAgeism in society. The importance of celebrating the aging process, embracing the idea that growing older is a privilege, and how an optimistic outlook can lead to a longer and healthier lifeNavigating issues such as time and cherishing every momentDispelling the notion that it is too late in life to do anything The essential role of relationships in our lives and the challenges we face in expressing our emotions and caring for thoseFlexBeam red light therapyRecharge Health is offering a discount on the purchase of FlexBeam, the wearable red light therapy device which targets key parts of the body to improve sleep/treat injuries/sooth aches/pains.  Sale price US$369 (down from $449) + an extra $10 off use code equinox  Sale ends Sept 21: 0259 PST DoNotAgeDoNotAge.org is offering listeners to LLAMA a 10% discount on its range of products – NAD boosters, Sirtuin activators, senolytics and more.  Any health queries can be answered by emailing the team at hello@donotage.orgUse the code LLAMA at checkout. - Time-line Mitopure (a highly pure form of Urolithin A) boosts the health of our mitochondria – the battery packs of our cells – and improves muscle strength.
