The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

adventurous hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced
  • Strong character development? Yes

5.0

The Alchemist is one of my favorite books. Life lessons are taught throughout the story.

On the surface, this is a book about a shepherd who had a dream and followed it to the pyramids in seek of treasure. Below the surface is a spiritual journey on how to listen to one's self and observe the world around them.

Read this if you are open to the lessons, not if you just want to enjoy a story.
