FBC Favobooks: "The Alchemist"

This book has been on my to-read list for awhile.  When I was looking at favobooks.com and saw that Anthony Robbins recommended it, I realized now was the time to read it, while also looking for a shorter book to finish in the last day of my long weekend.  It was one of those books that not only were you reading about Santiago's journey but you could relate it to your own life at the time of reading.  I am going through some questioning and possible changes in some areas of my life and this book helped to solidify to follow my "dreams" and keep true to myself.  I rated it four stars because while it spoke to me, I didn't find it extremely enthralling.

Re: FBC Favobooks: "The Alchemist"

  • I like the message of this book, but it bugged me when I stopped to think about how everyone/everything has a Personal Legend to achieve...except the woman. Even the dirt on the ground has a Personal Legend, but the woman's purpose in life was just to wait there in the desert doing nothing while Santiago walked all over creation finding himself.

  • To be honest I didn't pay much attention to the girl part of the book and didn't really think about that, but now that you mention it, yes I agree that is annoying.  I was more focused on him following his goal and overcoming the obstacles.
