The Alchemist is a modern classic that has sold millions of copies and inspired countless readers around the world. Written by Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist follows the mystical journey of an Andalusian shepherd boy Santiago. Santiago’s self-discovery tale teaches the wisdom of listening to our hearts, recognising opportunities and omens that we encounter on our life path, and ultimately, following our dreams.  Although The Alchemist is written with strong elements of magic and mysticism, the deeper meaning of this book resonates closely with our lives. However, alchemy in our world isn’t about discovering the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – it’s about walking along the said rainbow and enjoying the gradual process of our transformation.  Hosted on Acast.
