Synopsis
Within each of us is a warrior of light. Each of us is capable of listening to the silence of the heart, of accepting failure without letting it get us down and of holding onto hope even in the face of weariness and depression. Values like love for all things, discipline, friendship and learning to listen to our own hearts are the arms with which this warrior confronts the battles we face in the name of personal growth and in the defence of the light. On every page there is an inspirational thought, which can be read as part of Paulo Coelho's whole philosophy or used form the basis of a daily meditation. This text is a guide to the process.
Review
This is a very profound book, taken from Coelho's newspaper columns of the mid-nineties, with inspiring short passages where there would normally be a story we are taken into the world of the warrior and given paragraphs to meditate on. Some seem contradictory at first sight but, like life, once you think about what you have read then the true meaning comes to light. Reflective and intense in places - but then you would expect nothing less from Coelho - this is nevertheless an important book and there is something there for everyone. I'd even go so far as to say that this book needs to be taught in schools - there is more wisdom in the 280 pages then all the school textbooks I was ever shown as a child.
If you like the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, or have read any of Coelho's other books then this is the one for you. It's a life changer (or a life maker...).
