About this listen
From the number-one best-selling author of The Alchemist comes an inspiring story about a young man seeking wisdom from an elder, and the practical lessons imparted along the way.
“A novelist who writes in a universal language.” (The New York Times)
In The Archer we meet Tetsuya, a man once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the boy who comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya illustrates the way of the bow and the tenets of a meaningful life.
Paulo Coelho's story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfill, that a life constricted by fear of rejection or failure is not a life worth living. Instead one must take risks, build courage, and embrace the unexpected journey fate has to offer. With the wisdom, generosity, simplicity, and grace that have made him an international best seller, Paulo Coelho provides the framework for a rewarding life: hard work, passion, purpose, thoughtfulness, the willingness to fail, and the urge to make a difference.

“[Coelho’s] books have had a life-enhancing effect on millions of people.” —The Times (London)
“His writing is like a path of energy that inadvertently leads readers to themselves, toward their mysterious and faraway souls.” —Le Figaro

Focused and dynamic
Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was focused yet dynamic in its ideals. Can be applied to any situation where self improvement is the goal.

A guide for life
Paulo has again opened my eyes to an idea about the inner strength and abilities within me. He tells of an archer who shows a young person the way to live his life which will honour himself and his trade of choice. Being a legendary archer is only useful on the field of archery but these lessons will guide you for life. Enjoy this short listen and guide yourself for life.

Unimpressed
Found it boring short and kind of useless .
I think there's no comparison to the alchemist
