Life: Selected Quotations – An Illustrated Guide to Inspirational Philosophy and Enlightening Wisdom

A selection of some of the more powerful and poingient quotes from Paulo Coelho's works. Broken into 8 sections - The Dream, The Path, Love, Chance, The Journey, Destiny, The Good Fight and The Mystery - Life allows the reader to excerpt some of the key elements of Coelho's work, and get a flavor for his philosophy and world view.While some may find this little book a substitute for reading Coelho's works, it is really very much a suppliment to them. Standing alone, this collection is reasonably powerful and insightful. When married to Coehlo's full collection and a background of the full texts, it serves to remind and bring alive for the reader the depth and power of the original books in their unabridged states.A must have for any Coelho fan - and a great companion for meditation and reflection.

I have read almost all the books of Coelho. I bought this one to get his teeming wisdom in one book. What a coincidence, I bought this book along a new book I found by a new voice from the Philippines, A Filipino poet and artist Jeques B. Jamora. He reminds me of the first book I read by Coelho: The Alchemist. Jamora's first book, A Traveler's Soliloquies that he illustrated with his artworks is a complete treat to the mind, to the heart, to the eyes, to the soul.The first book I read written by a Filipino, the parallelism when I first read the first book of a Brazilian lyricist and novelist years ago.Great Authors from different corners of the world, yet their voices have one purpose: to speak to the heart and to sooth the soul.Namaste'

Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite authors, but this book has broken down some of his most meaningful and well known lines and divided them into easy to read quotes. The illustrations for this book are beautiful as well. While I bought this book for myself, I will be giving it as gifts for many years to come.

I truly love this book and happened upon it by chance. It consists of different quotes on different categories such as love, dreams, etc. It inspires and challenges. I often gift this book to my dearest friends and have probably given away close to ten by now and its always a hit with whoever I give it to. :)

Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite writers. He speaks to one's soul.this beautiful little book is near the top of my list of favorites. i highly recommend this beautiful little book. i am buying several for gifts so i can share the beauty of the illustrations and the quotations.
