Summarize the main event and the main lesson learned for one of the fourteen "tuesday chapter. write in complete sentences.

Schwartz repeatedly talks of the fact that current culture works against people having happy lives. He says that in order to be happy, you must make your own culture. It starts with his love of dancing. Albom describes how Schwartz would do the lindy to Jimi Hendrix, "looking like a conductor on amphetamines." He doesn't care what people think when he dances. He simply enjoys it.

This theme occurs again when Schwartz gets sick and is no longer able to dress himself in the locker room for his daily swim. Rather than give up the pleasure swimming brings him, he ignores the stares of others and has an assistant dress him. Schwartz says that the culture we live in is not designed to make people feel good about themselves. It teaches the wrong things, and in order to be happy, you have to be strong enough to not buy into it.
