New Acropolis Chicago held its monthly Books of Wisdom book club meeting with an interactive inspirational discussion on Paulo Coelho’s best-selling novel The Alchemist, translated into over 50 languages.

The enriching discussions focused on themes participants found most inspiring and applicable to their own lives, including discovering our “personal legend” and passion that gives meaning to our life, turning obstacles on the path into opportunities for growth, practicing being attentive and mindful to the treasures existing in our daily lives.
