Episode notes

The book is about dreamers who seek treasure abroad but find it at home. It's the language of the weird, floaty, non-specific self-help advice mixed in with this other weird frame that has been used in other stuff that we've tried. You keep coming back to like this is sort of a dreamy feeling, floaty feeling, fantastical feeling kind of fable.

We've covered vaguely spiritual self-help books before on the show, but The Alchemist is unique insofar as it attempts to wrap the broad platitudes of a The Secret up in a there-and-back-again adventure story. Please listen, as long as it fits with your Personal Legend.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
