Sahar Salim, Psychotherapist, EMDR and Couples Therapy, recommends:
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
“One of my favourite books is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I read it while I was training to become a therapist, and it had a profound impact on me. The story follows Santiago, a young shepherd who sets off in search of a hidden treasure near the Egyptian pyramids, guided by a recurring dream. Along the way, he encounters a series of transformative experiences that teach him about self-discovery, the importance of following one’s dreams, and listening to the heart.
The book deeply resonated with me at the time, as it mirrored my own personal journey. It helped me better understand the process of growth, both personally and professionally, and highlighted the idea that true treasure often lies not in the destination, but in the journey itself.”
The Blurb:
Young shepherd Santiago sets off on a journey across the desert in search of treasure, but what he discovers instead is far more valuable—a deeper understanding of himself and the universe. Through encounters with mysterious strangers, profound omens, and ancient wisdom, his path transforms into a spiritual quest that touches on themes of love, fear, and fate.
