BOOK OF THE WEEK: THE ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coelho

As a continuation of our search; identifying who you are and your purpose of existence, we introduce our book of this week: THE ALCHEMIST.

“The Alchemist follows the journey of an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago. Santiago, believing a recurring dream to be prophetic, decides to travel to a Romani in a nearby town to discover its meaning. A gypsy woman tells him that there is a treasure in the Pyramids in Egypt.

Early into his journey, he meets an old king, Melchizedek, who tells him to sell his sheep to travel to Egypt and introduces the idea of a Personal Legend (which is always capitalized in the book). Your Personal Legend "is what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is". He adds that "when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it". This is the core theme of the book” culled from Wikipedia

 It is indeed an interesting life changing book. I am going to read it this week for the fourth time.

Remember if you want a change in your environment, you will have to be the change first.
