"As though everything truly had to be faced without fear, as a mere fact of life - we don't choose the things that happen to us, but we can choose how we react to them." This book is completely amazing. At times, it will take you to a place where you can introspect. A place far from the real world, a place so magical, you'll never forget. It will feel like a mother wrapping her child fondly. A new you would come up. The whole story is based on Paulo Coelho's true life incidents, when he used to travel different places as a Hippie. As you read further, you- find yourself travelling along with Paulo and his companions. Based on a spiritual theme, the story won-t even once make you feel like losing touch. It will not only inspire you but will also change your aspect regarding your own self, the world and all the people around you. It will also redefine your vision of many things.
