Review on: The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
Rating: 3.5/5
Recommended
A story of a man who risks his life for the sake of another, and ends up in Heaven where he meets five different people who’ve made an impact on his life. The Five People You Meet in Heaven is another sentimental and inspiring book by Mitch Albom, which again delves into the human life and the human soul.
In many ways, this book does have simlarities toFor One More Day (also by Mitch Albom) in regard to experiencing “death” and the role of important people in our lives, but in many ways, it also discusses different things. While For One More Day discusses life and the decisions we make in life and how it relates to us in general, The Five People You Meet in Heaven discusses life and how different people have affected the decisions we have made in our lives. Sometimes, the people we least expect to have made a decision on our lives, end up being integral foundations of things we’ve done in our life.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven is an interesting book that gives us a possible outcome to life after death. What if in reality, after-death is simply about learning about things in our life and how they came to be. It’s an interesting aspect to tackle since people tell us that after-death is simply about us being knowledgeable about everything, this book tackles a possible answer to how we become knowledgeable about certain things. That’s is basically how the story goes. The main character learns about how certain things in life came to be, and how mistaken he was about how he thought things had turned out. He meets people whom he has both met, and not met, but had a life-changing impact on his life.
