 “tue dich mit denen zusammen, die etwas ausprobieren, etwas riskieren, die hinfallen, sich verletzen und dann trotzdem wieder etwas riskieren.” 

der weg des bogens enthält sehr nachdenklich stimmende ansätze zur philosophie des bogenschießens. somit werden über den weg der metapher viel tiefergehende lebensweisheiten vermittelt, aus denen man — je nach eigener lebenslage — unterschiedliche lehren zieht. mich hat das buch inspiriert und war sehr angenehm für zwischendurch!

I won't say this was one of the best of Coelho's work.

The book explains the practicalities of life, the lessons one must learn to proceed successfully and not lose sight of what needs to be done in a correct manner, who are the people one should be with, etc. The background story of how and why the lessons are given is, I think, very nice. But that's about it !!!

I flipped through the pages in no time not feeling the need to read it after a few pages, but had to finish it, for me to pick up another book, (when will I ever overcome this issue :P).

Could have been better, it's one of those books that one would not mind not having a copy of.

This is the equivalent to a very successful yoga session. It is also a book that a millionaire would recommend to those who want to be rich / millionaires themselves. 

This small book had so many great reminders/ lessons that people need time to time. The illustrations are beautiful and go quite well with the content of each lesson.

C’est une pépite d’or pour les personnes qui débutent dans la vie avec des conseils concernant notre vie quotidienne et le domaine professionnel

Ja, jag var också en sån som hade en Coelho-fas när jag försökte läsa andligt och spirituellt. Och ja, jag trodde också att jag gillade Alkemisten när jag läste den.
Sen växte jag upp, eller nåt.
Visst har han fina ord, Paulo, men det blir för flummigt för mig, tyvärr.
