The Alchemist


"When you wish and desire for something with your whole heart... Forces from whole universe comes down to help you get that".

As specified very rightly below the title, it is truly a magical fable about following your dream.

If you think a little more about one's dream, what are the possibilities that one can do about it?

- Follow the dream, work hard and get it?
- Follow the dream, and leave the chase when you are tired or ready to accept defeat?

Well... there is a lot more about dreams apart from just success and failure... and that's what this fable is all about.

As you and your dreams are very much part of this universe there exists a bond between you, your dreams and the soul of this universe.

Knowing this bond is one thing and feeling this very same bond is the art of living. The moment one consciously starts exploring feelings of this bond with universe, universe itself start revealing its secrets to the one. And its the same thing nicely captured in this fable where the whole universe comes down to help "Santiago" who is chasing his dream.

Personally, going through the fable was a magical experience as if I got a third eye to my mind to see the invisible things happening around in life. And I am sure, whoever learns and explores the language of universe, will certainly experience the same.

I put 5/5 rating for this book. One of the bests that I have come across.

In other words " A Worth Read"... :)

Cheers

Hi Shrenik,

I am also fan of this book and completely agree with your views. There are abundant power in our thoughts and our dreams. I have read one another book on similar lines -- The Secret (by Rhonda Bryne), please do read if you haven't already.
