Its full of open thoughts and refections, and it's like pieces of of fragmented mind of an author that he/she is continuously trying to gather. I loved it.Like the Flowing River is a collection of Paulo Coelhos stories and articles which were published in different newspapers around the world.Like the Flowing River is definitely one of Coelhos best, for me. It contained his thoughts and reflections on different thingsfrom the story of the pencil to a piece of bread that fell wrong side up. Im amused at how he sees the Universe. How he comes up with various realizations out of the simplest things that happen in his life.This proves that Paulo
I will admit one thing,if not for my brother , i would not have read this book or for the matter any books of his. My friends used to recommend his books, but i had always stayed away from his books. From what i have heard, his books always sounded Philosophical, which for me is the other name for Boring . I have never been into books of that category. I stay away from Self Help books. I tried reading it once since an avid reader should read all types of Genre. But sadly , it resulted in a
"Like a flowing river" is an ode to a better way of living. Each and every chapter shows the reader a different perspective to life, the Coelho way. Absolutely spiritual and poetic by a gifted storyteller, and an amazing life coach. You have to credit the translator "Margaret Jull Costa", who is doing an incredible job.

Brazillian writer Paulo Coelho tells his thoughts and reflections in this collection of essays and short stories. Some of them are truly inspiring. He travels a lot, and the stories that he heard and recounts in this book are often refreshing. This is a book that makes you stop and think a lot.
Inspirational, reflective, & meditative. What a treasure of reflections! I thoroughly enjoyed this book & am happy it was selected for discussion for our book club's Read & Hike event. It's perfect for the occasion.
There are only a few authors; or for fairness sake in this situation, books, that can annoy me as much as Like the Flowing River has.I understand that Paulo Coelho sees himself as this mysterious magical being, but it just always comes out as condescending and patronizing; even self-centered and narcissistic at times. I mean this guy really needs to take a break and understand the world can function just as well without his egoistic and narrow-minded view of life.To some, it might seem audacious
