A review by read_n_wright
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

4.0

I loved the whimsy of this book. It was a pleasant, readable story that incourages its readers to consider that there is much to gain along the journey.

Oftentimes when I reflect on my life and decisions, I wonder if I should have made one choice over the other but then I remember, I never would have learned this thing, meat that person, or had that experience otherwise.

I agree that while making the right choices in life is important, it's not the be all and end all because so much growth and learning happens between the decision to make a choice, and the destination.
