Young shepherd, Santiago, is in his search for his Personal Legend, similar to man’s struggle to break free from the restrictions of conformity and pursue dreams. Santiago’s adventures challenge you to think about your goals; to get in touch with your “rebel nature”; to answer your Personal Legend. His journey is inundated by setbacks, testing his commitment. However, by paying attention to the synchronicity of events, they guide him closer to his goal.

Santiago is an alchemist in his own right when he turns misfortune into riches. The author is a great storyteller and weaves a great parable in The Alchemist.

It is an amazing story that speaks to your own Personal Legend, a quest; “When you pursue your personal legend the universe will conspire with you to make it happen.”
