This book is essentially a fable of a shepherd who has a dream that if he goes to the pyramids he will find his treasure. So he sets out to do that and meets a king, a merchant, an alchemist and others who guide him along the way. He learns many life lessons that can be boiled down to follow your dream, listen to your heart, trust in God, and love is the force that improves and transforms the soul and it must be nourished. This book had so much hype for being life changing, inspirational and magical. It think it was too much hype for me. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't heard all the hype. I am glad I read it since I see it referenced so many places.
