The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

This is a book of self-help, self-discovering, and self-grow. Paulo Coelho takes you in a fictitious world of magic and adventures, through the story of “Santiago de Compostela”, who is the main character in this wonderful story, which will catch you from the first page.

Santiago is a shepherd, who loves read, he is looking for his purpose in this world. Did he come to be just a shepherd? Was he doing what he really wanted to do? Was that his dream and his mission in this life? These are some of the questions that Santiago asked himself and which led him on an adventure to discover his personal legend.

I personally love this book, it is the kind of book that you reread each year. First, it is short and easy to read because it has a simple language and expressions. And second, it is very deep and means full, the author uses the story as an engine for change. After reading this book you will seriously consider changing some things in your daily routine and you may see your life from another perspective. I definitely would recommend this book, despite what a lot of people think about the author.
