It touches on the very real notion that sometimes, as humans, we feel like we are just living every day the same. I think this book, similarly to Tuesdays with Morrie, has endless amounts of potential to teach people how to find their place in the world. Every person he meets in heaven has a lesson to teach him. Set in the afterlife of Eddie, an eighty three year old war veteran, his seemingly unimportant life is explained by five people who were in it, from loved ones to strangers, each one unravelling a deeper meaning. The Five People You Meet in Heaven was no exception. It keeps me philosophising and thinking and feeling in new ways, and that’s one of my favourite things to do. I find myself viewing my life through a different lens and finding meaning I didn’t realise was there. What I love about Mitch Albom’s writing is that, although it’s very simple, it encourages a lot of inner reflection. I knew straight away that I wanted to read more of Albom’s books, and so that’s how I stumbled upon The Five People You Meet in Heaven. During lockdown, I read the book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and was blown away by how inspiring and emotional it was.
