This is a book that different people may see differently: a fairy-tale for adults, a self-help inspirational book or it can be a simple easy book with some good quotes.
Basically, the books tells you to follow your heart, dream of something and live a life trying to achieve it. That is when life feels fulfilled. It is a story about a shepherd Santiago, who follows his dream and very prectiably, realizes them. Well, it is certainly a page turner, describing the various people he meets and the path to his destination. While this book can be a life changer for some, it was refreshing for me. There were some inspirational quotes and it was a different book. A very easy read and the book can be finished in one evening. What I take away from this book is, lead a life following a dream but the journey to achieve the dream is more beautiful than the dream itself.
More quotes from this book:
* When a person really desires something, all the Universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream
* There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
* The fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
* Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor being severely tested.
* Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
* It's not what enters man's mouth that is evil, it's what comes out of their mouth that is.
* When someone makes a decision, he is diving into a strong current that will carry him places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
