Designated this as my MRT book as the ones I'm currently reading are quite a pain to lug around.
The book borders a little on the occult...which is quite typical of Paulo coelho's books. There's always a bit of religion + the new age spiritual stuff in his books. Although I couldn't agree with some things he mentioned in the book, ie, how we shouldn't share our faith/religion with others, I do like the parts about defeat and dreams.
Some excerpts I like:
Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honor of losing and the joy of winning.
...there are people who have never been defeated. They are the ones who never fought....
In the silence of the night, they fight their imaginary battles: their unrealised dreams, the injustice they turned a blind eye, the moments of cowardice they managed to conceal from other people-but not from themselves- and the love that crosses their path with a sparkle in its eye.... But which they lacked the courage to embrace
