Mitch Albom: Embracing Loss and Finding Life's Lessons

If you believe that the happiness that you have on your good days is an incredible gift and not some kind of guarantee, but a gift, something that you have found your way to, and you should celebrate and remind yourself of how many good days you have, then, when you have bad days, when you get sad, you can see them as the counter to all the great days that you had.
What if the key to happiness lies in understanding our deepest sorrows? In this episode of 'How To Be Sad', Helen Russell sits down with Mitch Albom, the acclaimed author behind 'Tuesdays With Morrie'. Mitch's journey from sports writer to bestselling author is remarkable, but it's his reflections on life and loss that truly captivate.
From his touching reunions with his dying college professor Morrie Schwartz, Mitch shares the timeless wisdom that Morrie imparted, reminding us all to slow down and appreciate life's fleeting moments. With over 40 million books sold, Mitch's storytelling resonates because he doesn't just talk about death; he uses it as a lens to illuminate the beauty of life.
In their conversation, Mitch and Helen delve into how loss can be a wake-up call, urging us to show up more fully in our lives. They discuss the power of giving, the therapeutic role of music, and the importance of shedding cynicism. Whether you're grappling with grief or seeking a deeper understanding of happiness, this episode offers a heartfelt exploration of the human experience.
Tune in for a dose of inspiration and a reminder that even in sadness, there is profound meaning to be found.
