These are thoughts and reflections – both funny and poignant, personal and universal, sorrowful and life-affirming – from the master
of insight and inspiration, Paulo Coelho.

Paulo finds transcendence in everyday occurrences. Like the toast that fell the right side up; or the man who was discovered in his pyjamas, a skeleton twenty years dead and missed by no one; or an ordinary pencil, symbolic of life’s trials and triumphs, or the necessity of
remaining open to love, even if others try to hurt you.

Paulo Coelho is an enchanting storyteller, inspiring people all over the world to see beyond the ordinary and
into the remarkable.
