In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom explores the impact of culture on self-perception and emotional well-being. The book highlights how societal standards often pressure individuals, leading to feelings of inadequacy. Morrie Schwartz, the author’s mentor, points out that the surrounding culture does not promote a healthy self-image, and instead, it often diminishes one's sense of worth.

Morrie's insights serve as a reminder of the importance of fostering a supportive environment that celebrates individuality and personal fulfillment. By drawing attention to the negative effects of cultural pressures, the book encourages readers to reflect on their values and seek deeper connections that affirm their self-worth.
