Colm Holland was working as part of an editorial team in Australia when he came across a galley copy of a book called The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. He told his buyer that he wanted to buy thousands of copies. That one act helped launch Paulo’s book to great heights. After the book was published and sold millions of copies, Paulo met with Colm. He said he wanted to thank Colm for the trust he had in the book and wanted to give him the gift of the alchemist.
This book is similar to the book, “The Secret.” Colm describes how he changed his life while using “The Alchemist” book as a guide. He gives examples and exercises for the reader to follow a similar path. He recommends not moving forward in the book without completing each chapter so the reader can fulfill his/her destiny too. The book contains pieces of the original book as Colm reflects on the true meaning. I recommend this book if you enjoyed “The Alchemist” and would like to go deeper into its meaning.
