In fact, many authors such as Hemingway and Faulkner, devote their whole life into ONE book, but each of your books has variety of themes, which are nearly completely different. Why?
Because this is the way that I found to explore myself better. The book, for me, is an act of self-discovery. Everybody who loves wisdom is a philosopher, from the taxi driver to the ascetic monk, from the traditional Saint-Germain-des-Près French intellectual, to the person who is selling coconuts in front of Copacabana Beach. Who is able to learn from experience is much more interesting than the person who spends his lifetime reading books and trying to understand the world without taking the risks of new relationships. Therefore, a philosopher is the one WHO has a role in civil society, not the one who thinks about life and human beings.



Very True life experience is a much better teacher .Blessings Tania
We say in arabic,”the one who is his master is his book, his mistakes is more than his rights.” Symbolizing that it’s more than reading to learn, is trying to learn.
I liked what Aristotle said, which is “what you learn to do, you learn by doing.”
Mr. Paulo you amaze me more every day.
Thank you,
Some people are born to be different and help the others fo find themselves.
there are different ways of doing that..
That reminds about the book “Narcisse and Goldmund”. I read it in the same time, I did for the “Alchemist”, and I remember, there were synchronicities between them, in regard to Life’s Piece.
The book of Herman Hesse explains two points of view, as for art. One character needs to leave his monastery, for trying to create one master-work. And so he errs, breathing hardly, hurting, sadly, but living also arousals .
While the other, his companion, creates without asking and follow the rules of the monastery, he stayed.
They both lived what they wanted too. Even if they don’t know if they choose it.
But they asked a time, how it would feel to live the other’s path.
Love.
l experience unique de la lecture de vos livres c est le fait que je sens que chaque personnage est une des faces de moi. c est en vous livrant par un acte d amour limpide et genereux dans chacun de vos mots que nous arrivons a NOUS aimer en nous reconnaissant et a vous aimer apres, a nous pardonner aussi, et a continuer a entretenir la petite flamme… c est magique…. mais il y a le reste… cette connexion que vous avez cree entre ceux qui aiment vos livres. creer une sorte de chaine qui relie tous ceux qui, finalement tres nombreux, n attendent qu un appel de coeur… la force est alors multiple, elle devient grace a la PAROLE, une arme, une etoile, la vie ? c est ainsi que je reconnais Le Message de Dieu quelque soit la langue, la forme et le lieu….
decidement Paulo comment ne pas t aimer?
Nada,
