In order to have a fruitful life, devote yourself to create something that gives you purpose and meaning. Paulo Coelho, author of the book, The Alchemist introduces us to a young boy Santiago. He is a shepherd that is in search of a valuable treasure. In order to find it, he makes a journey across the Mediterranean to the desert desert .In the course of his journey he meets people that are very significant to his life and they help him to find his “Personal Legend”. Santiago’s life experiences awaken our desires to pursue our own goals, find true love and seek faith in God.
I have a suggestion for you if you liked Coehlo's The Alchemist. It's an amazing book by Mitch Albom called The Five People You Meet in Heaven. It's easy, but deep as is Coehlo's work. The main character dies and meets five people in heaven who help him answer his life questions, just as the boy Santiago is searching for his own answers.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting book.. I should invest some time into reading this! Any more great suggestions, feel free to comment on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThe way you described the book really caught my interest. I like that there is a hidden message and meaning to the story besides the author just simply telling a story. I'm definately going to dive into it once I get a minute, Thanks for the suggestion!
