The Alchemist

This book is a about a boy who is moving along in his life but is driven to follow his dreams by a myriad of events. The book is as much about empathy as any book because many of us face the exact same challege the boy faces. Should we follow our dream? Or live to safegaurd our future? Is wealth more important or the satisfaction of achieving one's dreams. Is the satifacion of achieving one's dreams going to lead to a goalless life?

This book is about so many things and could mean so much more to people reading it based on their own perceptions. Wonderful read and brilliant spiritual journey!
