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

Thank you nik I am 71yrs old cancer survivor I have some wishes I which I could not fulfill till date but ur talk inspires me to persue my dreams hope the universe will certainly help me to achieve my goal better late than never

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Bless!

[@karmagurung1]

You must absolutely do it!

[@captaindip6970]

The treasure was right underneath him the in the very beginning, but he needed to go through his rite of passage in order to deserve and appreciate his treasure. It was with him all along.

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Exactly! Not just a wonderful "that's life" story but also a great template for stories, period. :)

[@TheSevda]

I read this book 20 years ago, and since then I started reading the Bible, and now I realise how much from this book is actually from the Bible. Pretty cool

[@KirikomiMoon]

This is surely a story I need to read! That strong determination that can push a man onwards and hearing that he fell multiple times in his life as we humans do, got back up because he had a goal, and knowing that he did not give up shook me up inside! That's the gumption I need to have in my life too! I need to stop thinking that my failures are permanent and feeling like I'm doomed to never move forward. It's only permanent if I give up on myself, so I'll shake off those sour moods and keep moving forward!

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Go for it!

And remember guys: "the real treasure are the friends we made along the way"

Always!

Great work Nik. Summary was so good & perfect 👍🫡🎉

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Thank you!

[@briansmith837]

Wow, this is amazing video! Excellent summary and analysis. The Alchemist is one of my favorite books and it changed my life when read it as a young person. Now my I read it with the young people in my English classes. They like it, too. I get extra copies of the novel and the graphic novel as prizes or for students who really enjoyed the book. I plan to share this video with them, as well.

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Thank you, always appreciate when people share, it makes a difference! Glad you're getting so much out of the book even years later!

[@veronicashane7879]

Thank you

[@Timmytallstories]

An amazing book. But i think you got the ending a little wrong. He realises that the true treasure is Love. As he heads back to Fatima. And if I remember rightly, the tree where he dug to find the treasure was the one I'm the Monastery, where he went with the Alchemist. It's been over 25 years since i read this book. If you haven't already, i recommend everyone to read.. the 40 rules of love. Fantastic book.

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Hmm, maybe you're right! But I think the spot where the treasure was was basically where he started, so "it was there all along" kind of. In any case, yes, great book!!

Great work i appreciate your efforts , would you tell me how can i make such animated videos off a script? thank you.

[@FourMinuteBooks]

We use PowToon and we have an audio company partner with narrators who read out the original summaries. All good old manual, human work, nothing else to it!

[@aminefrigui9187]

That’s helpful thank you , keep up the good work❤️

[@FourMinuteBooks]

@@aminefrigui9187 Thank you, we'll do our best!

[@JParkerAdair]

Hey, this is really cool! I just finished reading this (finally started it, sounds like a metaphor). My only consideration for your video/knowledge is the pronunciation of “Melchizedek.” It sounds like you are pronouncing it as two names, but in the translations I have read (it’s a Biblical name), I have typically seen it as one name, where “kee” flows right into “zih.” I could be very wrong here, so take it with *cough* a grain of sand. Keep up the great work. 😉

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Thanks for the tip!

[@4g4_g]

Great dear

[@VO_JayRedding]

I want to be a professional Voice Over artist when I grow up lol

[@actioncore35]

I’m here because a girl reads this book and I want to have a conversation about it with her

[@zamyllefayedeguzman9509]

i tot four min book review, why is this 7 minutes? 🤔

[@FourMinuteBooks]

Because reading things out loud always takes longer than reading them in your head. Try it ;)

[@Brian.001]

'Rise more times than you fall ...' How is that possible? It's the same number of times, surely?

[@juannavarrete2546]

If you rise after you fall, then you have risen more than you have fallen.

[@Brian.001]

@@juannavarrete2546 I think you need to go over that again. One fall, one rise, two falls, two rises, etc? Same number.

[@juannavarrete2546]

@@Brian.001 where did you fall from the very first time buddy? From the ground? Or while you were up?

[@Brian.001]

@@juannavarrete2546 He's referring to getting up after you fall.

[@JParkerAdair]

Each morning (hopefully), what do you do? You rise. You’re already +1 for the day. Now if the rest of the day sees you fall 47 times and then rise 47 times, you have risen 48 times. 😉
