PM Endorses...The Alchemist

Around the time we were going through mixes for "I Am (Obama)" [there were four different tracks], Rob Gaines called me and said "J, you need this book." Now, FIRST OF ALL, I didn't know people still read, and I usually never turn down a good suggestion for a book. When he said, "It's a quick read" and "It'll change your life" I decided to give it a shot. 10 bucks later I'm at home with the book, and in about 4 hours I'm done. I'm in shock at what just happened to me. I feel enlightened (and I'm light-skinned). I'm thinking about Personal Legends, Omens, and treasures. I'm touched forever. I'm literally stunned at what just happened to me.

Coelho doesn't come off as deep. When you start reading, you're pretty uninterested. It reads like a children's novel. But something keeps it from feeling distant, so you keep reading. Mostly because you're proud to be reading again. It's language is simple; for a second you feel like you're ahead of the author. You know the story. You beat him to the punch. And then, he FLOORS YOU...punch after punch...until you don't have to search for God anymore. You are overwhelmed with a sense of purpose and love. NOW you're living...

I find inspiration from any number of places, and I'm always looking for more. If you can spare 5 hours MAX this weekend, spend them in front of this book. Love and Peace...
