SUMMARY
• Santiago's journey takes him across the vast deserts
of Egypt as he follows the omens and listens to the
wisdom of the universe.
• Along the way, he learns important lessons about
the nature of life, the pursuit of dreams, and the
importance of listening to one's heart.
• Ultimately, Santiago discovers that the true essence
of alchemy lies not in turning lead into gold, but in
transforming one's own self and achieving spiritual
enlightenment.
RECOMMENDATION
• Although there are many reasons why I would
recommend the alchemist, because it’s a very
thought provoking book. It motivates people to
follow their destiny. It also teaches you to ignore
the negative things in your life. It also emphasises
on constant learning.
