Manuscript found in Accra is a tale of wisdom entangled with ancient philosophies.
Ever since I read “The Alchemist “I started loving the way
Paolo Coelho writes about wisdom. Coelho wrote this book in even better manner,
with the bitter reality and eagerness of human behavior scripted in such a
beautiful way; anyone can read this book many times as required. According to
me it’s not a novel, this book is a holy set of wisely written answers of very
fundamental questions. I can guarantee no matter many times you read this book,
you will always get a different message. This is the best thing about Coelho`s
work. You should read slowly and understand the significance of every word used
to pass the message.
The Copt or Greek speaker gathers in the Holy city to share
his wisdom with the masses. After the Copt's initial speech, he offers to
answer questions from the crowd. He answers questions based on anxiety, love,
loyalty, sex, death, war, beauty and much more. Each chapter is full of
quotable wisdom and inspiration.. It is beautifully written and the gist
of it is the message that your reactions/feelings/internal thoughts on anything
that happens in this world whether to you personally or at a distance are what
ultimately makes that event what it is, be it tragedy or love.
Those who read self help books and love reading the words of
wisdom. This one should be in your list.The best part is the cost, very less and indeed a treasure of wisdom.
Best lines :
“Anxiety was born in the very same moment as
mankind. And since we will never be able to master it, we will have to learn to
live with it—just as we have learned to live with storms.”

I would suggest you to read this book, not in terms of reading and learning. But to take understanding of the most fundamental ideas present on planet earth. Every chapter is worth a read.
