"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

(For more information about Paulo Coelho)
I decided to make a little "ad" for a very nice book called "The Alchemist (A Fable About Following Your Dream)" by Paulo Coelho.

It's an interesting novel written in a simple but beautiful way. Coelho's amazing storytelling powers enable the reader to imagine each scene from the novel... It's one of those books you cannot put down. I recommend it to everyone :))

Originally written in Portuguese, it has, as of 2004, been translated into fifty-six languages, and has sold more than 40 million copies in more than 150 countries, making it one of the best selling books of all time.

It was so long ago I don't remember fully. At that time I was highly interested in becoming a writer myself, and I was going through some inner turmoil. He gave me comforting words, and basically told me to not be obsessed with what I want to become in life, to explore as many things as possible and to make a decision. Now, I can proudly say that I am a Psychology Major at NYU, and will be either applying to Ph.D. programs next year. I could not be happier :-)

Some people just want a meal and a roof over their head. Thousands die everyday from hunger, and many are the victims of war who have done nothing wrong to bring about their set of unfortunate circumstances.

because you are a psychology major it means you are the only one capable of answering my question i did not purchased the alchemist or THE SECRET so before i do in your opinion what is better? it is a question about alchemist vs the secret

If ever there is going to be a movie, I find these 2 top actors worthy. The Boy: Gael García Bernal, The Alchemist: Javier Bardem.
