Service95 Recommends The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist

Paulo Coelho

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho has been called one of the best self-help books of a generation.

What We Say: “The perfect companion for sunlit days when anything feels possible: The Alchemist follows young shepherd Santiago, who dreams of adventure; sensing that life has more in store for him than his quiet home and flock. When he sets off in search of treasure, his journey takes him across distant lands, where he meets strangers who change his path and discovers wisdom that reshapes his world.” – Lisa Harvey

What They Say: “An adventure story full of magic and wisdom.” – Rudolfo Anaya

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
