The Alchemist

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

This timeless book follows a young shepherd whose encounter with a wise man inspires him to search for a hidden treasure. The boy’s journey unfolds through a series of meaningful synchronicities—some challenging, some uplifting—that build upon one another and guide him toward his destination.

What struck me most is how each experience has purpose, reminding us that nothing in life is random. Every moment carries meaning if we pay attention. The Alchemist stays with you long after you finish it, encouraging you to look for the lesson in every challenge and trust that something good is on its way—we just need a little patience.
