  1. The Alchemist

the alchemist is one of those books which you might complete in one sitting. this book is just so special and soulful that it will take you on a journey that is full of adventures and fantasy. this book was written by Paulo Coelho in 1988. and it has become one of the most famous novels of all time. The Alchemist is a classic novel in which a boy named Santiago embarks on a journey seeking treasure in the Egyptian pyramids after having a recurring dream about it on the way meets mentors, falls in love, and most importantly, learns the true importance of who he is and how to improve himself.

2. Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

Wild. umm!! what do you think after watching this book name? well, you must be thinking that this book is something about adventures and real-life experiences. if so, then you are absolutely correct wild is one of the most emotional books I've ever read in my life. this is one of those books which will grab your attention from chapter 1. this book is based on a truly emotional but as well as exciting.

wild was written by Cheryl Strayed in 2012. The book tells the story of Cheryl Strayed and the trials she’d undergone ever since her mother Bobbi was diagnosed with cancer when Cheryl was just 22. In the book, she recalls aspects of her life that had led her to take the Pacific Crest Trail and the various people she’d met along the way.

Wild is a true story, is the simple tale of a woman walking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), trying to get her life back on track. She’s incredibly unprepared but sets off on this three-month-long journey all by herself and learns a heck of a lot about herself, strangers, strength, family, and more.

this book is highly recommended if you want to give a fresh start back to your life. this is one of the best books you can ever read on a journey.
