In honor of International Book Month, we turn to Paulo Coelho’s globally celebrated novel The Alchemist, which has inspired millions with its message of following your own path and pursuing your dreams. International Book Month encourages readers to seek out books that resonate with their personal journeys, and The Alchemist offers timeless wisdom about trusting in the process of life.

Paulo Coelho, born in 1947, is a Brazilian author whose works often explore themes of destiny, spirituality, and self-discovery. The Alchemist, published in 1988, is a philosophical novel that follows Santiago, a young shepherd who embarks on a journey to find a hidden treasure, only to discover that the real treasure lies within himself.

Today’s episode focuses on the importance of minding your own journey. Coelho’s work reminds us that while it’s easy to get caught up in other people’s opinions or ideas about how we should live our lives, true fulfillment comes from staying true to ourselves. This episode encourages listeners to stay focused on their own path and resist the urge to compare themselves to others. By trusting in their own process, they can move forward with confidence and clarity.
