Review:
The first time I read this book was in 2005 and this book completely changed my life. I read this book during one of my crisis times when I was just starting my career in film-making and did not know which direction to take or where to go. This book came in my hands and it was the beginning of a new chapter of my life.

The Alchemist focuses and asks the reader to focus on what is best within them. What is important and why is it important. You look at life through a different lens.

Story of a young shepherd and his quest in life. His life questions and answers and the realisation that he has the ability to create anything that is within him.

The words in this book flow like poetry urging the reader to keep going and not stopping. A must read.

Rating: 10/10

*This had to be the first book I reviewed because it changed my life.
