The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a touching and inspirational story that reminds us that our lives, no matter how simple, are filled with purpose and interconnectedness. What really stands out in this novel is its powerful theme of forgiveness—not just toward others, but also toward ourselves. As Eddie navigates his afterlife, he learns that self-forgiveness is a crucial part of the healing process, helping him find peace. Mitch Albom beautifully conveys that it's never too late to learn, grow, and seek reconciliation, even at the end of life. Eddie’s journey shows that even the smallest actions can have a profound impact, and that our lives—no matter how ordinary—are full of meaning. Highly recommend reading it if you have the time.
