The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
The alchemist is the philosophical story of the fabled life of Andalusian shepherd Santiago, who left Spain to seek his treasure at the foot of the Egyptian Pyramids. It’s like a "advice": a life and moral guide that seeks answers to the questions "How will you dominate your destiny, how will you establish your happiness?" The secret of the novel, which looks like a mystical fairy tale, to find more than seven million readers in six years, undoubtedly stems from its guiding nature. Reading The Alchemist is like waking up at dawn to watch the sun rise when everyone else is still asleep.

“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
