His quest will lead him to riches far different--and far more satisfying--than he ever imagined.

"This book is a great weekend read. Caveat emptor: don’t do what I did when you get to end. I read this book back in the mid to late 90s, the Clinton era when the deficit clock in Time Square was slowly ticking backwards to its eventual flat sums. This book with its philosophical view on the scintillating intersection of human experience, Devine interventions, and a supposition that individual manifest destiny rather than chaos prevails in the fortunes of the great unwashed masses was then and is still on any given day a seductive theme for me. That’s how things can get convoluted and to be clear the pages in this book became increasingly easy and important to turn, so much so that I quickly found myself very near the end without being prepared to let the whole thing go. I decided I was going to do this right, I was going to properly prepare myself for the section that after all others would put the parts into sequence. I tucked my children into bed and put the kettle on. Grabbing my coziest blanket while my favorite tea was steeping in a cup, gathering myself and all these preparations in my favorite chair with my copy of Paulo’s book, I opened the book ready for a revelation. When I got to the end everything had changed and I was furious!"
"I found this book for $1 in a thrift store during one of the most stressful and painful times of my life. I read it in less than a week and I am so thankful for it. It really helped me through the pain I was feeling and the lessons I have learned have stuck with me sense. I hope this book reaches and helps more people! "
"Great read! Wondering why I didn't read this sooner"
