The Alchemist   Paulo Coelho 5 of 5 stars Genre: Fiction/Classic This is a story about a young boy named Santiago who saw a dream one day about a treasure buried under the Pyramid of Egypt. He always wanted to travel the world, so because of his dream, he started the journey. He met so many people at so many different places, and eventually, he reached the pyramids under which, according to his dream, the treasure was present. It was written in the 1980s and became the classic genre's timeless masterpiece, hats off to Sir Paulo.

He learned why one shouldn't trust every stranger and why his journey was more important than his destination. He went through many life phases, challenging times when he had no money to buy or ...

Book: Atomic Habits   Author: James Clear My Rating: 5 of 5 stars Genre: Nonfiction/Self Help/Personal Development { It's so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis } Atomic Habits by Sir James is truly a brilliant work. I would be honest with you when I first saw its title I wasn’t interested in it as the title seemed boring (Atomic Habits) and at the same time I thought this book contains tips for creating habits which would be boring to know. But as I started it with a prayer ‘Please, please this should be interesting’, it turned out to be a book I wasn’t expecting to be, “A very interesting and remarkable book”. The story of the author, and how he wrote this book, is fascinating. So basically I judged a book by its name hehe :/, but I was completely wrong. This book is based on the science of how a habit works meaning it helps one to understand basic how one recognizes it, comes across...
