In his book "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom reflects on the lives of many individuals who appear to be going through the motions without truly embracing meaning. Despite their busy schedules, they often feel unfulfilled because they focus on the wrong priorities. This sense of being “half-asleep” indicates a lack of direction and purpose.

Morrie, the central figure in the book, suggests that the key to a meaningful life lies in love, community, and creativity. Rather than chasing superficial achievements, individuals should invest their energy in fostering relationships and contributing positively to their surroundings. By doing so, they can discover a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose in their lives.
