  • Can't believe it has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide. Sometimes it is even boring.

  • The Author tries to teach a lesson about life

    Although it's a good book to read trough quickly. And the story is written quite understandable, I'm not really enthousiast about it.

    During the reading I constantly had the feeling I was reading some sort of bible story. The main character in the book is on a journey to find his ultimate treasure.. During this journey he discovers some wisedoms about life.
    Seems that the writer wanted to teach the reader about life, omens en persistence to reach your goals in life.

  • I don't understand how this book became popular. It isn't a good read and can be boring. The ideas it is trying to teach are bollocks, like a religious text.

  • 為了追尋夢想,你願意花多大的代價?你是否願意放棄一切,只為了心 中的一個願望能夠實現?
    作者用一個簡單而帶有異國風味的故事帶領我們去思索屬於人生的大哉 問,雖然故事情節有點虛幻,但是他讓我們能隨時問問自己的心,問問 我們所信仰的神,同時也問問大自然給我們什麼啟示.
    每一個人都有夢想,但是常常因為現實環境的阻礙,或者安於現狀,或 者害怕失敗,或者不敢夢想,而限制了自己的腳步往前邁進,而隨著時 間的流逝,那些夢想變的遙不可及,甚至於再也不被自己想起.
    作者說:當一個人全心的追尋夢想時,全世界都會合作起來幫助你.作 者也說:傾聽你自己的心,傾聽大自然告訴你的,我不知道在 ... Continue

    為了追尋夢想,你願意花多大的代價?你是否願意放棄一切,只為了 心中的一個願望能夠實現?

    每一個人都有夢想,但是常常因為現實環境的阻礙,或者安於現狀, 或者害怕失敗,或者不敢夢想,而限制了自己的腳步往前邁進,而隨 著時間的流逝,那些夢想變的遙不可及,甚至於再也不被自己想起.
    作者說:當一個人全心的追尋夢想時,全世界都會合作起來幫助你. 作者也說:傾聽你自己的心,傾聽大自然告訴你的,我不知道在現在 這個世界上有多少人會相信這樣的勸告,我們無時無刻都不在跟現實 妥協.
    當我們聽到有人放下高薪去過自己想要的生活時,到底是羨慕的力量 大,還是加滿自己信念的力量大,不管如何,生活本來就是一個大學 問,沒人可以告訴你該怎麼生活,但是你自己永遠知道你對自己滿不 滿意,有時候改變需要一點勇氣,但是也承擔風險,不過千萬不要失 去作夢的動力.

My Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky."Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."

Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come.

The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.

The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
