在线阅读本书 Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever. One by one, Eddie's five people illuminate the unseen connections of his earthly life. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself. In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom gives us an astoundingly original story that will change everything you've ever thought about the afterlife - and the meaning of our lives here on earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that readers of fine fiction, and those who loved Tuesdays with Morrie, will treasure. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

当罹患癌症，只剩一年可活的心理治疗师朱利斯，见到多年没联络的老病人菲利普时，心里大吃一惊。二十三年前，菲利普有严重的性上瘾症，每天沉溺於猎艳行动，直到呕吐为止。而今，菲利普依然傲慢冷酷、目中无人，却取得「哲学谘商师」执照，全心推崇叔本华的悲观主义，认为它可以解答一切困惑。 朱利斯不喜欢菲利普，却答应要督导他，条件是他必须先参与团体治疗。这个团体里，有遇见婚姻难题的小儿科医师、哀叹年华老去的美丽女律师、成天跟人打架的水电工、对前夫和情人满怀愤恨的文学教授、无法表达情绪的经理人、缺乏自信的图书馆员……。当疏离冷漠的菲利普走进团体治疗室，两眼瞪著天花板，不与人目光接触，口中却不断冒出犀利而绝望的哲学经典，他的加入，宛若一颗特殊的石子，在团体里激荡出一阵阵不断扩大的涟漪，伴随著朱利斯走完人生最後的旅程……。

这些故事充满了“我要！我要！”的呼喊。一位患者对两个活着的儿子视而不见，只要不断的哭喊“我要死去的女儿回来”；另一位患者的淋巴腺癌细胞已入侵身体的每一个角落，却坚称“我要和看到的每一个女人上床”；还有一位患者因为无法打开三封信而痛苦不已，他内心祈求的是“给我从来不曾拥有的父母和童年”；另一位老妇人苦恋一个比她年轻三十五岁的男人，她呼喊的是“我要永远年轻”。 这是心理治疗大师欧文·亚龙所写的十个心理治疗教学小说，也是他的作品中最畅销的一部作品。这本书在美国一出版就登上了美国畅销书排行榜，在全世界几十个国家热销。是难得一见的心理治疗普及读物。它的专业水准和可读性没有任何作品可以匹敌。几乎所有的评论都是五星。 这部作品也同样受到了中国诸多心理治疗师的赞赏。
