About the Author
One of the most influential writers of our time, Paulo Coelho is the author of thirty international bestsellers, including The Alchemist, Warrior of the Light, Brida, Veronika Decides to Die, and Eleven Minutes. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters and a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Paulo is the recipient of 115 international prizes and awards, among them, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor). Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, he soon discovered his vocation for writing. He worked as a director, theater actor, songwriter, and journalist. In 1986, a special meeting led him to make the pilgrimage to Saint James Compostela (in Spain). The Road to Santiago was not only a common pilgrimage but a turning point in his existence. A year later, he wrote The Pilgrimage, an autobiographical novel that is considered the beginning of his literary career. He lives in Geneva, Switzerland.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Is a great book
Great
5.0 out of 5 stars I like this book.
I like this book. It is good to contemplate what is written in it. I recommend this book to Paolo Coelho readers.
5.0 out of 5 stars BOOK OF QUOTES - very inspirational
This is not a direct companion to the alchemist, but more of a book of wise and inspiring words. a good read, and a good way to wake up in the morning.
4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and simple advice to live better
Paulo Coelho excels at incorporating meaning and lessons into a story. For example, he narrates a story about a couple putting up their Christmas lights and the husband focuses on the one bulb that is out. The wife says, "Instead of seeing the past year as dozens of bright lights, you can see only the one bulb that didn’t light up anything." The lesson is perspective. Do you see focus on the one thing that went wrong or the many things that have went right?Another gold nugget is: "Only by having the courage to follow a path will the path reveal itself."And this one: "Everything around us is constantly changing. Each day, the sun lights up a new world. What we call routine is full of new ideas and opportunities, but we don’t notice that each day is different from the previous one. Today, somewhere, a treasure awaits you. It might be a little smile; it might be a major conquest—it doesn’t matter. Life is made up of miracles small and large. Nothing is boring, because everything is constantly changing. There is no tedium in the world, only the way we look at the world."
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this small book!
Such wisdom in small doses.
3.0 out of 5 stars Much less substantive than The Alchemist
This book is a selection of mostly single page short stories. There are a "few" gems, but mostly these are pretty obvious, much more preachy and Christian specific (even with the inclusion of some Buddhist/Hindu bits). Not fulfilling - got to a point where we had to just trudge through it to get done.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful in every way
This is a beautiful book, a wonderful read that you can pick up any time and continue the moment you begin reading this. So insightful. I bought this also for a gift for a friend who was so happy and loved it as well with the Alchemist, The size is wonderful because it's light and on the small size. Also a great price.I think you will find all of the reviews positive! It is very much inspirational.
5.0 out of 5 stars Maktub - must have
This book is a treasure trove of insights that often goes unnoticed. I advise reading 1-2 stories a day. This helps you keep life in perspective and be grateful for each day. It's a wonderful companion for anyone seeking daily inspiration and a renewed sense of gratitude.
Truly amazing life experiences
A travelogue of life experiences and learnings. Simple daily anecdotes and stories for a simple life. A chapter a day will keep you grounded and at peace.
Another great publication from the Master
I bought this with some anticipation as The Alchemist is one of my favourites (if not my No1 fav) At first Maktub seemed slow and light weight, and inappropriately cast as the companion the The Alchemist, but the more I got into it, and the more I read, it all sank in and beacme relevant. It's good. Go for it! Add it to your collection and enjoy!
I quickly judged the book by it's cover, I haven't read it yet
Hardcover was just wrapped in a piece of paper 😒
Great author. Arrived in perfect condition.
