Armed with two stones and the money he made from selling his sheep, Santiago heads for the Pyramids. The Alchemistis about a young shepherd named Santiago who meets a king and sets off to fulfill his personal legend. Short and filled with life lessons, I can understand why The Alchemist is an international bestseller and has a worldwide following of its “teachings.” This type of book was probably pretty exciting back when it was published in 1988 but in today’s age of spiritual bestsellers ( The Secret, Eat, Pray Love, etc.), the concept of a spiritual journey was a little tired. This book has been on my to-read shelf for a good number of years and I finally got around to reading it at the recommendation of a classmate. Buy the book: Amazon/Audible (this post includes affiliate links)
