The most simple things in life are the most extraordinary.Ģ. My personal favourite lessons from the book are-ġ. The protagonist Santiago realises his dreams and follows them whereas his father and crystal merchant don’t. The shepherd boy travels to the Egyptian desert, where he meets the Alchemist.

” The Alchemist” is the story of a shepherd boy from Andalusia who dreams of travelling the world in search of a treasure, and then begins an amazing journey of a young boy chasing his dream. The book also exhibits the contrast between the lives of people who realise and fulfil their purpose with those who allow themselves to be sidetracked and Don’t achieve their goals.

The Alchemist, book by Paulo Coelho is a full pack of lessons! The chief essence of the book is to follow your dreams and that your journey is far more important than your destination.
