The Archer

Paulo Coelho

3.46 AVERAGE


“Therefore, the arrow must leave, however much
you love all the steps that led to the elegant posture and the correct intention, and however much you admire its feathers, its point, its shape.
However, it cannot leave before the archer is ready to shoot, because its flight would be too brief.”

This book although a really quick read does create such a deep insight into life and how you are spending your time on Earth. I loved how simple but strong the wording was .

Many disliked the images included in the book but I enjoyed having something to help create a better vision to the words written. I loved reading this book and felt at peace when i finished it .

Bis auf Prolog und Epilog liest es sich sehr wie ein Selbsthilfebuch mit Standardratschlägen, aber nett in die Welt des Bogenschießens verpackt. Die Illustrationen sind wunderschön und simpel gehalten, sodass sie gut zur japanischen Schauplatz des Buches passen.
 Ein gutes Buch für einen ruhigen Nachmittag. 

Short and sweet. The book uses the analogy of a bow and arrow to life. It goes through the bow, the arrow, and the target - what each means, how one doesn’t exist without the other, etc. it’s simple, but I think it should be. Sometimes when we try to get philosophical, we make things way more complicated than they need to be. It talks about what it takes to steady one’s self, the patience, the practice, being steady.
