[book review] The Alchemist
//
Do you consider yourself an optimist or a pessimist? Why?
//
I'm an optimist, but my husband is a pessimist. I suppose we even each other out.
//
Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist is a much-needed cup of healing optimism riddled with beautiful metaphors and crisp sparks of wordplay. My Kindle notes were over 6 pages long! This book made me reflect on my own life. What is my personal journey? How is the universe conspiring to help me? How have I experienced the language of the universe? Have I taken time to recognize the world today? The Alchemist will make you pause. It will extend a calloused hand (for the story is not without strife) and show you the importance of your senses in a singular moment. This is a for sure reread.
