The Alchemist is a beautifully simple story that I highly recommend. It's both inquisitive and encouraging, offering a fresh perspective on life. The tale of the boy and the alchemist isn't rich in world-building or plot; instead, it explores the adventure of following our callings and the ease with which we can stray from our paths. This isn't a self-help book; it's a mirror reflecting your own life journey, revealing details about yourself you may have never noticed.
