The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

The Alchemist is a childhood favorite of mine for its fantastic adventure and words of wisdom. It was one of the few school-assigned books that I actually finished😬

All it takes is one book to activate that magical power of reading for a young person. The Alchemist was one of those books for me. Although I didn’t like it as much when I reread it recently, The Alchemist still holds a special place in my library. It’s always a great book to talk about with friends too!
