About Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian novelist and lyricist born in 1947, best known for writing 'The Alchemist' (1988), one of the best-selling books in history with over 65 million copies sold in 80+ languages. Before his literary success, he faced rejection, personal failure, and even institutionalization, yet persisted to become one of the most widely read authors of all time. His own life story mirrors the very journey of personal legend he writes about.
Every person has a 'Personal Legend' — a deep purpose they were born to fulfill — and the entire universe conspires to help those who pursue it with courage and faith. Transformation requires leaving comfort behind and reading the omens life places before you.
