Beautiful book. It's a story about a shepherd boy following his dream - but it's really about following what you feel you're supposed to do in life, and how the universe kind of bends toward people who commit to that. It sounds abstract but it doesn't read that way. Same as The Man Who Wanted To Be Happy - it teaches through the story, not through explaining. That format again is just great and also a great read.
