The Alchemist

Apparently “The Alchemist” is really popular among celebrities, according to the introduction. It's a simple story of a boy searching for his Personal Legend. The boy has chosen to forego his education for a life of travel as a shepherd. He travels back and forth across Spain with his flock to sell wool, and has recurring dreams about finding treasure in the Egyptian Pyramids. On one of his trips, he encounters an old king, who encourages him to follow the omens and find his treasure, as everyone has a Personal Legend they must fulfill. But once he sets off on his journey, he encounters many obstacles that threaten to prevent him from completing his Personal Legend, and wonders if it's worth finding the treasure and leaving the comfort of the life he knows.
