As a modern-day classic that has inspired readers worldwide, The Alchemist has become one of the most recognizable self-help books of recent generations. In this timeless story we follow Santiago, a young shepherd in pursuit of his “personal legend.” This book touches on profound topics such as destiny, resilience, and the importance of following your dreams. In our club, we will discuss the symbolism used in the book and how these lessons can be applied to our own lives. Whether you’re reading it for the first time or revisiting it with fresh eyes, our book club will spark deep conversations and personal insights that will help you grow as a person.

  • "There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

    Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

  • "We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."

    Paulo Coelho, The Alchemsit

  • "It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
