A very interesting story and with many philosophical concepts, the novel of the alchemist tells about a Andalusian Shepherd named Santiago, a young boy with a huge adventurous spirit, and huge desire to see the world in its totality. Santiago's life would have 360 degrees, due to a simple dream that tells him to seek from no other place than the Egypt pyramids, and so he decides to start the journey to Egypt to find them. The Alchemist gives the reader a “therapy” section in the majority of the book’s pages, it goes deeper into the concept of individualism, make us ponder about yourself, and the way to think when it comes to challenges in our daily-life, think about what is stopping us to achieve your goals and expectations, and the only that may stop you is your mind. It also expresses the complexity of understanding different perspectives from other people and how dreams and desires can be a huge factor to go on and achieve what you want, and it would “teach” you many lessons that can be helpful in the near future like the appreciation of today, the importance and effects of taking decisions, and standing strongly in the truth, etc. Afterall a very recommended book to read.
