I loved "The Alchemist". The idea of pursuit, and ultimate achievement told in fable manner generated both optimism and hope for me. ANd the theme of the story "When You Know What You Want, The Whole World Conspires With You To Achieve It" is one of life's most beuatiful lessons.
"Warrior of the Light" expands on the themes Coehlo set forth in "The Alchemist", providing everyday lessons for reaching the enlightened status of The Warrior. It's a convenient to carry pocket sized manual, and is great to pick up for a moment's inspiration in the pursuit of dreams. The style of the manual is more of a meditation than The Alchemist, and the book is broken down into short paragraph form, allowing the reader to take a lesson, think over its implications and incorporate the action into daily living. Among the many lessons covered in "Warrior" are the value of failure (a key to all of Coehlo's writings), respect for the universal elements, living through your dreams, and acceptance of nature.
I keep two copies of "Warrior" handy - one on my desk at work, and one on my nightstand at home. It is a great book to simply open, absorb and meditate on. And the lessons of the Warrior make for great living on a daily basis.

This author reads the heart; understands the "soul of the universe", and translates all into immensely profound yet understandable ideas for everyday life experiences!
God Bless You.

To truly be kind and good, you need time, patience and morals. The Guide to The Warrior of Light, by Paolo Coelho, is a remarkable and inspiring book. I could feel Coelho's message to the reader, that he believes that there can be a Warrior of Light in each and every one of us. To wake up the good and the true within us, that is what Coelho wants to achieve for the people who read the book. When he tried to get through the point, about generosity, love, pity, and compassion, you feel as if the writer is in front of you, opening up his soul like you're old friends, sharing those feelings and emotions. The story line is more philosophical than any other of Coelho's books, and wakes up beliefs within the reader, that all of us can change and aspire to be Warriors of Light. It is a beautifully written book that I would recommend to everyone.

I believe in our soul there is a light given by God (or however you would like to call Him). That light is in our nature, in our soul, and given by instinct. That's why I don't believe one religion is right or wrong, christian, buddist, islamic... every religion is an interpretation of the light. No matter where you from, you will always have access to this light. I always believed this and I am so surprised when I read this book... everything I ever believed, is described so clearly. "El Manual de los Guerreros de la luz" has become my bible, it is not 'just' a companion for the alchemist. I'll give it 2,000 stars. By the way I never write a review about anything unless is important.

Warrior of Light is a truly poetic book. The way Coelho wrote this book is impressively unique. The message is very compelling and touching.The book is destined to be as timeless and classic as Gibran's The Prophet. It's a masterpiece and perfect companion to The Alchemist.

If readers eagerly want to explore what is Coelho's "Philosophy of Meaningful & Spiritual Living", this book can be the answer. The book powerfully presents the heart of Coelho's Philosophy of Life.

Like The Alchemist, this book is a truly spiritual novel. And if you want to apply the concept in The Alchemist into your everyday life, Warrior of Light is a manual!!! Valuable!!!

It's difficult to find Warriors in this era. People with old souls who try and see things for what they are as opposed to what they should be. This book is amazing. I own both the English and French version; which is very well written. I am a huge critic of books and this book is definately one of my favorites along with: Le Guerrier interieure, Shambhala Warrior and the Four Agreements. A book that really disappointed me was "Soul sword"...horrible. If you like books which teach you something about yourself, then you might want to grab this one. Paulo Coelho did it again!

This book is so beautiful and inspiring to me. It's heart-warming and soul-inspiring simultaneosly.The style's perfectly unique. The messages so powerful. Coelho is a spiritual teacher in disguise.

Perhaps you'll know your "Personal Legend" and "The Soul of the World" better after absorbing The Manual of the Warrior of the Light.

If The Alchemist has touched and moved you, do not miss this book.

This is a book of wonders, the ordinary man/woman facing his/her destiny and fighting against all odds to find his/her place on Earth. If I were rich enoguh, I would buy thousands of copies do give to people all over the world. The best of Coelho so far, although I don't understand why did the publisher related it to The Alchemist

i found this book to be highly helpful in my path towards a warrior of light, thought throught reading it, one my wish to have a writing utensil close to edit the entries, as i did. most of the book was heavy with truthful, unegotistical thoughts and actions, but i could clearly see his entries that were from his ego, or specific situations he was in, irritated or confused, then wrote about them.
in conclusion, a great read, great ideas, and a great path. .... just be sure to filter the text and take only that which has the ring of truth in your own heart/mind... for some entires are just laughable.

A bunch of pompous trivialities expressed in an inflated, preachy quasi-religious style.
