Mitch Albom has changed my life on how the human mind needs to think about the world and others. I never read books growing up but I have read everyone of his books after stumbling across Tuesdays with Morrie. I was looking for cook book and saw it and said, Wow that sounds great. I read the book within a day and was hooked with reading all his books. He is true inspiration and a great soul. Thank you Mr. Albom
I once met an old vet with a number tattooed on his lower arm. I was a caregiver at the time and he told me that he could see that it was not the right train to get on so he sneakily managed to get on the other train, it saved his life and he lived to tell about it
I agree. Great conversation. Why does this fictional character and story bring forward more emotions than a non-fiction story? It is easier to access difficult emotions when it is fiction. Fiction is the buffer, it's not real. But its essence is real. We can imagine it but we, as readers don't have to confront the truth. Fiction helps us get closer to the truth, than difficult non-fiction stories.
Have met Mitch in person on a cpl of occasions around suburban Detroit. He is as you see him here available to conversate with the public because he enjoys people stories. His Jewish background has been a major influence. His compassion for the orphans of Haiti is an extension of the empathy he has for those who have & are suffering. That’s what I find so puzzling about his stances on students protesting against Israeli policy & actions in Gaza region. Sure a lot of them are just wanting to be part of the “in” thing to be traumatized about. And yes Oct. 7th happened so not many can make a case for Hamas. Yet the default defense of “ October 7” or “so you support Hamas” for the Israeli response that is like having an ongoing Oct 7th almost everyday befuddles me. Labeling any protesting anti-Semitic is to deny what the world is seeing going on in the Gaza conflict. If you say it’s wrong for Hamas to hide behind or use the Palestinian people as a shield then using anti-Semitic as a shield for committing war crimes makes you just as evil. It’s manipulative & convenient to try to redirect the focus away from the killing (some say murdering ) of massive amounts more of people not to mention leveling civilians homes forcing them to move or be killed. It’s disheartening to hear Mitch’s takes on his radio show because I have such regard for his humanity in his works. Perplexing to me
❤❤❤I’m an anti-Gladwell fan, though I can’t deny the Holocaust because I heard a lot of Prof. Snyder, I sit here in Saitama on my futon in awe of somebody I’ve never heard of talk about his commitment to Haiti , a place that right now is what I imagine will be a predictable pocket place for future communities around 2050 amongst my grandchildren’s lives directly or indirectly affected by either heat or cold so uninsurable that they can’t afford to take care of their ancestors altars.
No question about it, Malcolm and Mitch are not for you. Why did you even stop to listen to this interview? Move on and don’t think about them. They are not for you.
This lovely waltz of a conversation revealed so much about Mitch and Malcolm. Their back and forth was completely, delightfully middlebrow.
So glad I listened and watched. So, well worth it.😊
I’m honored to have been gifted to listen to this interview. My favorite EVER ❤❤❤ ❤😢
What a wonderful conversation! Thank you 92nd Street Y, Malcom, and Mitch!
This guy has a heart of Gold.
Thanks!
They are two of my favorite authors. Both are great storytellers.

Wow😢 God bless ❤
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved reading his "Fab Five" book when I was a kid.
Yooo, no way! That song was awesome - lol! And on such short notice!

Who else thought these two were the same person for years
Is there really a person alive today that has the slightest portion of respect for Gladwell? A suppository has more intellectual integrity.
Substance-free ad hominem laughed at and rejected.
I adore Malcolm and subscribe to his work and read everything he writes!!
@@pamgallagher9778 Do you really, extraordinary; what a fantastical perception of the world you must have.

@@Happy2BUp 😂 listen to yourself, ‘don’t think about them’, don’t tell me what to fucking do. Who the hell are you?
