The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho
International best seller with substance. Very enjoyable story--finished the book during one long plane ride. All about following dreams, love and destiny, the book is really different for everyone; the message of following your true self is meant to give the story universal appeal (and I think it does). I was surprised how a simple story made me think about larger life goals.
Key takeaways:
- Follow your dreams
- The universe conspires to make dreams happen
- Personal legends are the reason for living
