The Alchemist

Book Name: The Alchemist

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it"

This line from "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho inspires me a lot. It teaches its readers, in a very subtle and effective way, the power of being positive. This book is full of inspiring lines, but in the end, what matters the most is that you have to take action. Otherwise, these lines are nothing more than word and this thing goes with all the self-development books.

This story is a soul-stirring wisdom story about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago and his journey towards his recurring dream of finding hidden treasures in Egypt. He then meets people along the way telling him to follow his dreams, pointing him to the pyramid where he will find treasure.

Different people might have a different interpretation of the book "The Alchemist" but according to me, everyone should read this book once as it helps us to understand many things when it comes to pursuing your goal, and you must read this book once in your lifetime. If you have failed in your life and you're finding it difficult to move on then have a journey along with Santiago. This book is going to inspire you and boost up your confidence not on the basis of some facts and proofs, but it's a fictional story that is going to touch your heart and inspire you once you are done reading this book.

"Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."

Do read this book to explore whether Santiago, the shepherd finds the hidden treasure or not, and if he is successful in finding the treasure, then where does he finds the treasure and if not then why not?
