It's OK to feel

This is a great book for anyone, but I found it appealing Especially for me as a man. Society dictates and brainwashes men to believe That feelings are "weak"; particularly sadness or grief. To be a "strong" one, you can not ever cry or shed a single tear ... so society would have us believe men.
The fact of the matter is, though, did society is dead wrong. It's the * weak * you that never cries and the strong man who is fully in touch with his emotions - and fully able to express them.
And that's what this book deals with ... the necessity for expression of feelings in order to fully experience life. Do not be misled by the book's size. It may be short, but that's part of the book's beauty. I was amazed at the simplicity of this book - bite-sized chapters make for a very easy read, but each one is full of important life lessons.
Morrie, the book's subject and a retired college professor, speaks frankly and tenderly to Mitch, an ex-student of his. And over the course of Morrie's last 14 weeks on Earth, he brings back from the Mitch frantic, frenzied mindset of today's materialistic society. He teaches Mitch to feel again ... that it's OK to be mad, it's OK to be sad, it's OK to cry.
Morrie was a profoundly loving man who faced his death with a triumphant Certain optimism. He loved fully, and thank God he left us with this book of wisdom. Mitch Alborn has truly painted an amazing portrait of courage, hope, and inspiration.
