your journey begins here

As a rule, I'm not into self help books. I'm especially not into them when they are disguised as novels, but Coelho's books are different somehow. He comes from such a sincere place, and his prose never comes across as preachy. This is spirituality in its purest form. SIMPLICITY. This book is not beyong anyon'es grasp and allows the reader--any reader a chance at spiritual enlightenment. The book can be taken on many levels. It is an engaging read, but also a roadmap. Calling this a book is an injustice. It is a guide, and from time to time we all need to be guided.

The Alchemist

I found this book to be very motivational/inspirational. I have chosen to gift this book to the high school graduates in my life as I feel it might help them to find a direction for their life that is more influenced by their heart than the media and ultimately allow them to be healthier and happier people.

I actually own the original Brazillian Portuguese versions of all of Paulo Coelho's books, including this one, O Alquimista (The Alchemist). Every one of his novels is a wonderful experience and if read at the right times in your life can be life changing. Having read Diary of a Magus (O Diaria de um Mago), Brida, and The Alchemist all at the right time in my life I find he is a beautiful writer, inspiring and soul lifting. He reminds me somewhat of Max Lucado in his ability to write to the soul and leave you renewed by the end of the journey. I truly suggest him for those searching for an unknown something. He may help you find it. Be open and accepting of the voyage. Enjoy the view along the way. The destination is worth it.
