The idea that if you want something, the whole universe will "conspire" to get it for you is nonsense. However, if you are a non-materialistic critical thinker and atheist (not necessarily nihilist), you may find some of this quite ridiculous. the universe is a materialists shopping catalog, existing only to wait for your order for a new car, house, wife/husband, job, etc. I imaging this would resonate with people who believe in the "law of attraction" - e.g. I did highlight a couple of things in the book, which I often do, so I suppose there are some general insights that aren't directly related to certain beliefs. Maybe I've completely missed the point, as I read it over the space of an evening. This might set people on a very enthusiastic "wish and wait for what I want" path, or "go with the flow". I suppose there are some general takeaways to be had, but I really disagree with the somewhat fatalistic aspects, which are often slightly contradictory. If you don't believe in a benevolent higher power, this book just doesn't really work as anything other than a tale. Not me, though, because it needs to lock-in to a very specific pre-existing sense of theism/spirituality which I don't have. So, people say this book has changed their lives. This book, in my opinion, should be read by everyone, young and old, atleast once. Paulo Coelho has an uncanny knack to soothe your soul and boost your morale. Such is the power of this book that you will want to read it again and again.
