The Alchemist by Paul Coelho is the story of a young shepherd named Santiago, who goes in search of a treasure located near the Pyramids. During his journey, he meets the Alchemist who teaches him how to listen to his heart, to read the signs of destiny, and most importantly, to follow his dreams.
The Alchemist is the first book of personal development I ever read, and it was a revelation to me. It opened my eyes on how to deal with the different experiences of life, as well as how to listen to the different messages of destiny. This philosophical tale is a breath of fresh air and I guarantee that after reading it, you will become a new person.
