Book: The Alchemist


Author: Paulo Coelho

This is one of the best books I have read so far. This book is about a young boy who goes about pursuing his dreams. He follows his dream to become a shepherd. He further dreams of a treasure and gathers up the courage to follow that dream. He learns many many things in the process. A wonderful fable that teaches as it delights. The book teaches us to get out of the comfort zone. And to understand the Language of the World.
This quote is widely used in the book - "when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it".
In the SRK Hindi movie, Om Shanti Om, this quote was translated and widely used.
The ending is especially for anyone who wants to pursue his dreams, but may be thinking of the pros and cons and eventually decides not go ahead.
