	Amazon.com: The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream: Books: Paulo Coelho
		Whilst I did not enjoy this book like I enjoyed Catch 22, or such solid hearty novel, I felt that to offer it less than five stars would be a mistake, and the undervaluing of an important and influential book.
		This is a special book that makes an uplifting gift to someone wanting to seek their dream, but isn't sure to take that first step.
		I enjoyed this book though with all of the hype, honestly was a bit underwhelmed.

		Simplified, the aims of the alchemists were threefold: to find the Stone of Knowledge (The Philosopher's Stone); to discover the medium of Eternal Youth and Health; and to discover the transmutation of metals.
		To the medieval alchemist the different elements were the same original substance in varying degrees of purity.
		The logo of the Alchemist Foundation was derived from the symbols used to represent elements in alchemy.

	The Alchemist
		Paulo Coehlo's 'The Alchemist' is such a book.
		It is a book - in form at least, it is a book - for Stepford wives; the cynical, cosy stuff of those sad little volumes featuring chicken soup flogged at bookshop tills, and bearing the trite sentiments of down-market Christmas crackers.
		Mine claimed that 'The Alchemist' had been translated into 42 languages, one had 27, another had 43, a fourth 56.

	The Alchemist, Constant Reader Discussion
		In general, "alchemist" is a magnet word for me, and I would have been on the alert for the book if the CR discussion had suggested content or writing that would interest me. Apart from the book itself, I admired the clarity of Ian's statement.
		Meanwhile a strange craze like The Alchemist happens...and a hundred years from now it will probably be studied by some student as a time in the world when such a book would hold great meaning for a group of people.
		That's why the books that have affected my life are not of the self-help, etc. stripe, but books through which I have been able to enter an experience that I might not have had otherwise.

	The Alchemist / El Alquimista
		The Alchemist reads much like the drivel that such teenagers write in their journals.
		Coehlo's pretend myth is comparatively shallow, written in such a way that the symbolism of his book's characters and events could only be missed by the most idiotic and insensitive of boors.
		I'll give this book some credit because there are people aged about 12-19 who might get a few basic insights out of it.

		This fanlisting is dedicated to Paolo Coelho’s book the Alchemist - a fable about love and life, and how a man strived to follow his dreams in life.
		“The Alchemist”, is an exciting novel that bursts with optimism; it is the kind of novel that tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen.
		As the alchemist himself says, when he appears to Santiago in the form of an old king “when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true”.

	Review on Alchemist, The - Paulo Coelho by Paulsb02 - MouthShut.com
		The book itself is about a journeyâ¦Human beings journey to find out the truthâ¦Individuals and groups who are trying to find happinessâ¦How they ran after fame, money and other worldly things.
		Alchemist teaches you that, if your dream is so powerful and if you wish to fulfill your dream, nothing can stop you.

		The Alchemist walked up the old, creaky, wooden stairs of his mediaeval castle as if he were walking up to his stage.
		The Alchemist must prefer the night to the day and that was fine Annabella because she too prefers the magick of darkness.
		The clothes the Alchemist chose for tonight were a deep purple, almost a fl kind of purple velvet poets shirt, over fl leotards like he wore last night.

	Book Review of The Alchemist
		The Alchemist is one of those "esoteric" feeling books that makes you feel like life is vivid again.
		He has churned out quite a few more books in the last few years that I have not read yet, so it is certainly possible that he has outdone The Alchemist.
		Some people complain that the book is too simplistic, that you would be stupid to believe that there is some "plan" for your life that you should have followed; that you should wake up, take your head out of the "touchy-feely" clouds and get back to work.

	DYSKE - The Alchemist
		The book in fact advocates the view that most people give up their Personal Legends early on for superficial reasons, and that they forever become trapped by them.
		Personally, if the book was written by a life-long accountant in his spare time, it would have been much more compelling.
		The best part of the book is not so much the main message of it, but the bits and pieces of wisdom sprinkled throughout the book.

		What makes this book really stand out is the art, most of which is created by the author himself!
		The last quarter of the book is all full-color pages done up like the pages from the Dark Spells Dark book Dar uses to cast his spells.
		The whole book is also filled with puzzles and, if you solve the puzzles, you can win one of 100 fairy rings worth a total of $2 million.

		My sister was adamant that it was a brilliant book, one of the best stories she's ever read, though I put that down to her scientific background.
		I read this book after a waitress I met had a tattoo while travelling after being inspired by this book, and I thought it was worth a read if it sparked such a reaction in someone.
		I have avoided this book for ages due to the hype but was finally convinced that i should read it.

	Book Reviews for Common Reading
		As the alchemist himself says, when he appears to Santiago in the form of an old king "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true".
		And isn't it true that the whole of humankind desperately wants to believe the old king when he says that the greatest lie in the world is that at some point we lose the ability to control our lives, and become the pawns of fate.
		"The Alchemist" is a novel that may appeal to everybody, because we can all identify with Santiago: all of us have dreams, and are dying for somebody to tell us that they may come true.

	The Grok: Book: One Night @ The Call Center
		The book tried extremely hard to 'teach' you a good moral lesson, but it sounded more like the hollow speeches that a contestant at a beauty paegent comes up with.
		What really disgusted me was the final page of the book which ensured that I was going to put this book in the annals of worst ever books written.
		I cannot really recommend this book and I think the if you are still desperate to read, go half way through the book and stop as soon as you find the humor tiring and move on to reading something else.

	The Alchemist - A Book Review
		I was skeptical about The Alchemist but it was a Christmas gift from Gaby who is even more cynical of new age mumbo jumbo than me so I decided to read it.
		The Alchemist is a story of a shepherd from Spain who through encounters with various people in his life is lead to his "treasure" - the spoils of a conquest that the country had long ago forgotten and some conquistador had failed to tell his children about.
		The book was a little new-age but in a tolerable kind of way.

		The writing in this book is very simple, it may be a good book to recommend to learners of the English language.
		The Alchemist is an international best seller and loved by millions, and you may agree with them rather than me, maybe I and people like me just don't get it.

	COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY IN P. COELHO'S "THE ALCHEMIST"
		One of the reasons for its popularity is the strong therapeutic influence, presenting and suggesting cognitive sets, which help to reduce the distress of everyday life.
		In this book the therapeutic approaches are related in an eclectic manner, but the cognitive-behavioural principle is predominant.
		The present authorities (the Alchemist, the King of Salim) propose and suggest useful cognitive sets, but the latter are confirmed as a personal creed through conditioning in practice.

	The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Reviews, Excerpts and Related Links.
		The concept of the universe working in harmony with people and their quests in life, and the signs in which the universe reminds and reveals itelf to establish a path for our individual quest is brilliant and well-orchestrated throughout the book as a parable--almost biblical.
		This is a refreshing diversion from the capitalistic, robotic nature of the times we live--work, work, and work...we live in a constant life of 'lists of things to do and things we have to buy,' and sometimes we forget and stop thinking that perhaps there is more to this universal plan.
		The Alchemist was an inspiring novel which portrayed a different view of life.

		I really enjoyed this book, which can be applied to everyone’s life, but really is best suited to young adults.
