The Alchemist, is a book about destiny, fate, you may believe in it and you may not?

How does the book teach you to believe in destiny? Can you truly learn from others experience? Or do you walk your own path and learn from your own experience?

And that is why i questioned what can a book teach you that you already don't know about life...

Thats great zephy ! Next time you can aim higher; spice up your vision board. Include more details to make it clearer. That might speed up the communication and achieve quicker results 😆 A double topping waala muffin perhaps 😆

True, a book can inspire, motivate you (momentarily maybe) but can it really bring about a change..no ..only real life experience bring that change...'doing' brings change...

You can get 'ideas' from others' experiences...

hmm...guess getting confused with "don't know abt life" aspect...there is so much we dont know..and others' experiences open up , expose us to so many things...yes, wud we beleive in it or wud be implement is another debate altogether

I wouldn't say that his books are completely rubbish but yes, he is overrated. I don't think his novels are well researched. Personally it took me quite a while to connect with 'The Alchemist' in particular.

Definitely I will walk my own path and not depend on other's experience all together. But can we learn everything by ourselves within our own life? We interact with people and we learn something new. Books are same.
