My favorite book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. This book follows the journey of a shepherd boy who wants to travel to find a treasure. The journey is full of adventures and by the end of the book, the shepherd boy comes back to his small town where he started his journey. There he finds a treasure, just in the same spot he was before his travel. This is just a reminder that what we are looking for is already within us, but still, we have to go through life experiences to recognize our treasures. This is the reason I love this book because of its message and an easy read with full adventures. The Alchemist is a book I enjoy reading over and over again.

Beauty by John O’Donohue. This book is wonder given physical form. Through the exploration of our relationship to beauty, O’Donohue softly calls readers to awaken. Every time I read this book, I’m immediately grounded; connected to the natural and spiritual world around me; and reminded of what truly matters, and what is superfluous—what is a concern of the ego, in other words, and what deserves a longer look, a deeper appreciation. It’s impossible to read this book and remain untouched, unchanged.
