Before I share with you the great lessons
I took away from this book be sure to check out the video review by Ella Syrtis
He reveals more lessons that aren't shown in this video. So I've left a link in the description below
Lesson 1
recognize the good things
Gerry works a 9 to 5 job [for] an advertising firm he drags himself out of bed [and] brushes his teeth
Waddles onto the train Begins his Monday checking emails gets yelled at his boss
Has some lunch at the canteen gets yelled at again by a client?
Spends the last hour staring at the clock and then finally heads home feeling drained
Sounds like a dull day, right?
Well Gerry failed to see the old man that gave up his seat [for] him on the train
He failed to see the email from his boss thanking him for his efforts
And he failed to see the friendly smile that a stranger gave him on his way home
When each day is the same as the next it's because people fail [to] recognize the good things that happen in their lives
every day that the sun rises
lesson [to] Live in the Present [If]
You can concentrate always on the present you'll be a happy person
Life will be a party for you a grand festival because life is a moment. We're [living] now
Think about this your past was the present and the future becomes a present
So the present is the only moment in which you can live your life
So make the most of it stop mulling over the past and worrying about the future
This is not to say that you can't learn from your mistakes in the past or plan for the future
But remember to be fully conscious each day
lesson three
Life is interesting when you [have] a dream
Maybe Jerry felt each day was dull because he didn't have a dream
He settled for what he had and didn't have a dream to fulfill. Maybe we should all have a dream
When I was 13 years old I had a dream to [become] the junior world, unicycle Champion [I]
Practiced almost every day and always had something to look forward to [it] made life interesting for me
I went to my first [unicycling] competition on the other side of the country where I entered my first competition
made new friends and found a whole new world filled with excitement and opportunity
Over [a] year later. I travelled to New zealand for the world unicycling championships and became the Junior world, unicycle Champion. I'm
Now 20 years old and I have new dreams dreams to run my [own] online
Passion based business so I can serve [people] from anywhere in the world at any time if you don't know what your dream is
Try something new but whatever you do never stop dreaming
[Lesson] 4 everyone Learns differently
Picture this Jerry and I want to learn to play chess
We attend a chess event where we learn [to] play chess within a small group
Everyone helps each other out by asking [and] answering questions by the end of it Jerry can play very well
But [I] can't so I get frustrated
Why did Jerry pick it up so well and I didn't?
Well the answer is because everyone learns differently
Jerry has a social and verbal learning style meaning. He likes social settings where he can talk to others who are learning as well. I?
On the other hand have a [solitary] and visual learning style
I like a quiet solitary environment where I can learn through visuals such as images and diagrams
whether you're learning or teaching
remember that everyone learns differently you can take a free online test to find out what your learning style is I've

Lesson [five] become better than you are
when we strive to become better than we are everything around us becomes better [-]
[Gerry] is angry all the time
People don't like being around angry people
he recognizes this and makes an effort to control his anger as
He becomes less and less angry he finds that people are more friendly toward him
His are another example?
James is an entrepreneur, and is working on increasing his income from [5k] to 10k a month
to do this he attends personal development seminars and makes an effort to help more people grow their businesses as
A result the people around him see him grow and become inspired by him
So naturally these people gravitate towards James and soon. He is surrounded with more customers
friends Happy Vibes and a higher income
The last lesson that I'm about to share [with] you is perhaps the core message in the [alchemists]
Follow your heart
Wherever your heart. Is there you will [find] your treasure
you will never be able to escape from your heart, so it's better to listen to what it has to say I'll
Now leave you with [Paul] [core] [lows] most famous quote [from] the book
When you want something all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it
