Paulo’s comments from the Q&A with Paulo Coelho group.

Dear Mike,

I can't choose this - it's like asking a father to choose his most beloved son.
All my books reflect who I am, they are mirrors of my soul.
Love
Paulo

Dear Ginger,

no I enver read the Book of Mormon.
Can you tell me more about it?

Love
Paulo

Dear Sera,

thank you for your excellent questions.
Here are my answers:
1. To quote William Blake - God is in everything down to a simple grain of sand.
2. I do believe beginner's luck is a manifestation of the soul of the world.
3. A personal legend can go beyond the economic realm. I've known women for instance for who motherhood was their personal legend in this earth.

Dear Ammaly,

That we are always what we see in the other eyes, and not what we think we are.

Love
Paulo

Dear Meghan,

thank you for your kind word and support.
Don't forget though that you're the only one responsible for getting out of the turmoil - the book was simply an instrument.
You're the true warrior of light

Love

Dear Robert,

I've read tales of the zen tradition but I can't say I've studied in depth this tradition.
Concerning Siddharta, recently I had to write the preface for this book and I recall the moment I first laid my hands on it : it was back in 1967 and I had been committed to an asylum by my parents.
This books saved my life.

Love
Paulo

Dear Linda,

in my books I also have female characters in search of meaning.
It's actually the case of my recent book : The Witch of Portobello.

Dear Renny,

I've read quite a lot about Buddhism and actually one of the books that I'm re-reading right now is Siddharta by Herman Hesse.

Love
Paulo

Dear Tivik,

indeed this book is the fruit of a trip I made to Egypt and also of the many books I've read throughout my life.
Notably the works of Borges, Arabian Nights, Khalil Gibran and the teaching so f Rumi.
Arabian Culture is an endless treasure for me.

Dear Kris,

the moment that Santiago manages to talk to the sun and the wind is the moment where he learns to commune with the soul of the world.
He's finally able to read the book of life.

Love
Paulo
