The Alchemist changed my perspective on following dreams

I read this book at a crossroads in my life and it genuinely helped me make a major career decision.

Paulo Coelho has a way of making philosophical concepts feel personal and actionable. The idea of a "Personal Legend" resonated deeply with me.

Key takeaways that impacted me: - "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it" - The importance of listening to your heart - How fear of failure keeps us from our true path - The treasure was always closer than we thought

Has anyone else had a similar experience with this book? I am curious how it affected your life decisions.
