Episode 61 - How To Still Feel Like A Kid at Christmas
On this special pre-holiday Tuesday People episode, we take a look at some of the things that we believed when we were children and ask, why don't we still believe them today?

Using five examples, host Mitch Albom, along with producer Lisa Goich, walk through the scenarios that we seem to have forgotten as adults, and discuss ways that each can be incorporated into our lives today.

On today's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom notes how there's still one big thing you can determine in this year of losing control: how generous you want to be.

Episode 59 - Conquering The Holiday Blahs
It's December. And for many that means the Holiday Blahs are knocking at your door. That sadness that rolls around at this time of the year hiding behind shiny wrapping paper and every commercial selling diamonds and cars and gifts that are unattainable to most. Though happy holiday songs may send the message of "the most wonderful time of the year," for many, it's not. On today's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, Mitch Albom, along with producer Lisa Goich, discusses ways for you to get through the holidays without the pressure of having to be as jolly as old St. Nick. Morrie Schwartz will also weigh in with words of wisdom to take you from blah to...ahhhhhh. Tune in! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 58 - One Decision With Coach Mike Bayer
On today's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, Mitch talks with Coach Mike Bayer - a New York Times best selling author and personal development coach - about his latest book, "One Decision." It is estimated that we make approximately 35,000 decisions every day. Right now, there is at least one decision we can make that will have a powerful ripple effect across all aspects of our life. But One Decision isn't about taking one overwhelming big step; it's about starting with a single, important step that we have the choice to make every day: the decision to be authentic. We also hear from Morrie, in his own words, about authenticity and how to remain authentic, even in the most challenging times.For more information on Coach Mike Bayer and his book, visit his website at coachmikebayer.com.

Episode 57 - An Attitude of Gratitude
On this week's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, we discuss gratitude, and how this year's pandemic is affecting family gatherings all over the country. Instead of aunts and uncles and cousins and kids gathering to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday together, most people will be in their respective homes dining with one or two people, or their immediate families. Through Mitch Albom's conversations with his beloved professor, Morrie Schwartz, we learn through Morrie's words, that finding meaning in the present moment is key to finding gratitude. We at Tuesday People are very grateful for you, our listeners! And we hope you will all find a place of peace wherever your holiday takes you this year. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 56 - Of The Heart vs. Of The News
On today's Tuesday People episode, we talk about getting past the fear of being too soft. Mitch Albom, with the help of words of wisdom from his beloved former professor, Morrie Schwartz, discusses how important it is that we rise above mandates like, "you gotta toughen up!" and reach the point where we can value sensitivity. Not just in our beloved aunts and aged spiritual leaders - where you expect to find it - but in everybody. The world would be a much better place if we valued those people who had a heart for other people, and people who worried about the emotions and feelings of other people in their daily actions and interactions with one another.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 54 - What Would Morrie Say About The 2020 Election?
Morrie Schwartz died three days before Election Day in 1995. Had Morrie been alive to see this year's election, he most likely would have been less concerned about who got into the White House than how we behaved once the election was over. Media has fueled politics. And politics has put quite a dent in humanity. On today's Tuesday People episode we discuss the importance of being accountable for our own behavior and putting love ahead of division. Mitch also talks about how "Tuesdays With Morrie" would never have come to be if it weren't for the media and a Nightline interview Mitch just happened to catch late one night featuring his beloved former professor. Morrie always said "Love each other, or perish." We seem to be worried a lot about perishing, but not a lot about loving one another. Let's all try to remember these words as the coming days unfold. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 53 - Teaching Virtually During A Pandemic
How would "Tuesdays With Morrie" have ended up if it took place during this pandemic? If Mitch and Morrie met virtually, through a computer screen, instead of in person every Tuesday, sitting close to one another? That's the question Mitch brings to this week's show. With students and teachers meeting daily over the Internet, how does this affect the students? The teachers? The learning process as a whole? Can learning be the same without face-to-face interaction and human touch? Would Mitch and Morrie's meetings have worked virtually? No touch, no wiping tears off Morrie's face - no nuances to share with the reader. The world will get back to normal one day. But until it does, we have to wonder, how will the virtual worlds we've built for the last 7 months affect us all in the long run? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 48 - Apologizing To Those You Don't Know You Hurt
When was the last time you apologized to someone you only casually knew? When we think about saying we're sorry, we usually begin with the people we are closest to: our spouses, our parents, our siblings, our children and close friends. Rarely does apologizing extend beyond those outside our tight inner circle. Using the principles of atonement, as practiced at this time during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, host Mitch Albom goes through the list of apologies and discusses how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

Episode 47 - "You Talk, I'll Listen": Visiting The Dead After They're Gone
When Mitch Albom and Morrie Schwartz met at the end of Morrie's life – in a series of visits that ended up becoming the bestselling memoir, "Tuesdays With Morrie" – Morrie asked a single favor of Mitch: "I want you to come visit me at my grave." It was a request that Mitch has honored almost every time he has visited Boston over the past 25 years. Morrie's request, however, came with some special instructions, "Don't bring me flowers, drive the car in, get out, and leave the engine running. I want you to come when you have some time. I want you to bring a blanket, and bring some sandwiches, and I want you to talk to me." On today's episode of Tuesday People, we'll discuss the importance of visiting your loved ones after they're gone, how these visits can help continue the relationship and dialogue between you and the deceased, and how cemeteries can give us perspective about our time spent here on Earth.
