This was a phenomenal read. Not quite fiction—but not quite entirely self-help, this is one of those books I could read several times over and get more out of it each time.

I couldn't understand anything.
The author used Archery as a metaphor for life, but it wasn't relatable to me and felt like fiction.

Not what I expected!

The book is very short, contains amazing illustration. However, I felt that the story lacked depth, no doubt the author wanted to make parallels with the archery and life, but it felt like reading a sermon rather than a well written story with morals. Of course, the content(sermon) was good, but I lost interest after reading a bunch of intelligent sentences juxtaposed without forming a strong storyline. All in all, did not make a great impression.

Nice audiobook! Very preachy but enjoyable nevertheless

Weil es mir eine sehr, sehr gute Freundin geschenkt hatte, bin ich nach zweieinhalb Jahren dem Versprechen nachgekommen, trotz meiner Antipathie gegen den Autor dieses Büchlein zu lesen. Ich verstehe, dass manche Lesende die Sprache des Paulo Coelho für poetisch halten, seine Märchen ergreifend und Sinn-stiftend finden. Persönlich halte ich jedoch "Der Weg des Bogens" genauso wie "Der Alchemist" für aufgeblasenen Kitsch.
Die Meditation auf den Zen-Buddhismus und die Kunst des Bogenschießens erreicht mich so wenig, wie ein in die falsche Richtung abgeschossener Pfeil. Wem Zitate wie das folgende etwas geben, der findet sicherlich auch eine Vielzahl an Instagram-Accounts mit einem Motto für jeden Tag:
"Daher musst du dein Ziel gut auswählen, den Bestes geben, um es zu erreichen, und das Ziel immer mit Respekt und Würde betrachten."
Mein Ziel wird aber sein, mich trotz der stilvollen Illustrationen von Christoph Niemann künftig von Werken Paulo Coelhos fernzuhalten.
