Simple wisdom

This is a superb collection of quotes from various Paulo Coelho's books that draws upon his wisdom. The book is broken down into sections that explore a theme for inspirational reading. This is the perfect companion for quite moments or those noisy moments because it brings peace of mind. This book is like a brain springboard, a cerebral trampoline, if you will, where the mind expands into mental gymnastics based on the simple treasures provided by the words of Mr.Coehlo. This is something everyone should read,it has something for everyone and something that most people will enjoy. This is a great gift book because it is so easy to read and enjoyable.

getting an Idea who Paolo Coelho is

I bought this book for my 29 year old brother who never reads. I thought he might like Paolo's ideas and philosophy, but would never be able to actually read one of his books. This one is perfect. I buy quite a lot in Germany and have also bought one of Paolo's CD's of his thoughts and short stories. Well, my brother loved the gift, and thought he's give it a try

Nice and short

Nice and understandable quotes collected from all his great books. Neat arranged and very good to just leafing through and randomly pick one. And a great cover and awesome paintings.

Great Food for Thought

Paulo Coelho can do no wrong in my book. This collection of thoughts from his books and other writings summarizes his beliefs on life, love, destiny etc. It provides the reader with food for thought and reminds us of the things we know about life somewhere in the back of our heads but tend to forget we know as life happens. If you're not careful you can read this entire book in less than an hour, but if you do you'd have missed the point. I read, reflect and where appropriate, I write. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Daily inspiration

Life its filled with inspiring quotes that will brighten your day with good energy and positivism. Coelho's most powerful lines in a small book that you would want to keep near by for your daily dose! :-)
