A Book Review by Grover Click on www.dullmen.com

Rarely is a bestseller a book we would feature on our web site. But there’s one now that we like. Tuesdays with Morrie contains some insights to life that Dull Men live by.As you may know by now, this great little book is about a sports writer, Mitch Albom, interviewing his former university teacher and mentor, Morrie Schwartz. Morrie is fading away from Lou Gehrig’s disease. During Mitch’s university days, Mitch and Morrie met on Tuesdays.Twenty years later, they met again each Tuesday. Morrie reflected on many things in his life. One part we particularly liked was when he talked about building one’s own little subculture:

“I don’t mean you disregard every rule of your community I don’t go around naked, for example. I don’t run through red lights. The little things I can obey. But the big things—how we think, what we value—those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone—or any society—determine those for you.”

That’s what Dull Men do. They realize there is a lot of so-called exciting stuff out there—flashy, trendy stuff—that they don’t need to get caught up in. Instead, Dull Men simply take comfort in enjoying the ordinary things of life. They create their little subculture of the ordinary—doing routine everyday things.Mitch asked Morrie what he would do if he had one perfectly healthy day:

“Let’s see . . . I’d get up in the morning, do my exercises, have a lovely breakfast of sweet rolls and tea, go for a swim, then have my friends come over for a nice lunch. I’d have them come one or two at a time so we could talk about their families, their issues, talk about how much we mean to each other.”“Then I’d like to go for a walk, in a garden with some trees, watch their colors, watch the birds, take in the nature that I haven’t seen in so long now.”“In the evening, we’d all go together to a restaurant with some great pasta, maybe some duck—I love duck—and then we’d dance the rest of the night. I’d dance with all the wonderful dance partners out there, until I was exhausted. And then I’d go home and have a deep, wonderful sleep.”

“That’s it?” 

“That’s it.”

So simple. So average. Not flying to Italy. Or having lunch with the President, or romping on the seashore or trying every exotic thing he could think of.Mitch wondered, after all these months, lying there, unable to move a leg or a foot—how could Morrie find perfection in such an average day? Then he realized that this was the whole point.

Right on, Mitch.
