Inspiring! Everyone should read this book!
Though Warrior of the Light: A Manual, by Paulo Coelho, is very different to many of his other works, it is no less inspiring nor any less thought provoking.
This collection of short notes, thoughts, ideas and inspirations, should not be read all at once, but rather read and savoured over the course of several days or even weeks, in order to fully take in and reflect on everything that is written.
Since we are all in different places in life, have reached different goals on our paths, we can all take something different from this book, what will feel true with us, is naturally gonna be individual and unique. But I do believe that everyone can take something from this book and use it in their own lives. I for one, will be reading this book again, because it is my firm belief that each time it is re-read you can take something new and valuable from it.

هذا كتاب لنقرأه مرة وأخرى وأخرى

آمن بقوتك وبنفسك وطاقاتك واتخذ سبيلك القويم دونما تردد .. ستساعدم كلمات بويلو على استنهاض قواك بلا شك..

I picked up this book because I like Paulo Coelho's writing, but this book grates on my nerves. It is about everyone and no one. Every sentence that the words 'The Warrior of the Light' followed by sentence that can pertain to a saint and a regular person. It forces me to suspect that this book has been attributed to PC wrongly.

I know that many many people won't like this review, but I have to be honest. From a litterary point of view P.Coelho's writing really simple, nothing special in it, there are not engaging images or words. Since this is not supposed to be a novel but a manual in a more philosophical way (!), this Warrior's of the Light philosophy is really plain. I feel that Coelho just wanted to add everything he could in order to attract more readers. It is mostly a book for people who feel that they don't have any courage to deal with everyday's difficulties (everyone) and with this "warrior manual" he is trying to inspire people so that they can deal with it. This manual is contradictive because the writer is trying to include everything he can, it is really disorganised and does not offer arguments that could convince you. I really struggled in order to finish reading this book, even though it's really easy reading but there was nothing new to read in most of his mini-chapters (1 page!. Really, I just felt that it was for boys who dream of becoming knights or something and want to follow a manual just because they want to follow something instead of finding themselves lost without any life-directions. Since this is a moral manual (in an Aristotelian way, meaning that it suggests a certain way of living) I find it no inspiring at all, really simple, almost childish.

If you want to read something morally inspiring read some of Buddha's writing.

سقوط مدوي لكويلو بعد (الخيميائي)
الفكرة في تمهيد الكتاب رائعة وحماسية جدا أعتقد لو واصل على ذات النمط من السرد الشيق المشبع بالاحداث المتعاقبة والمغامرات الممتعة كان حال الرواية اكثر بكثير !
ولكن بهذه الطريقه الكتاب فارغ بكل معنى الكلمه من المحتوى .. فهو مجرد سرد لنصائح عن الصورة شبه المثالية للانسان او كما يسميه محارب الضوء .
أسقطت كل نجومي وأبقيت واحدة لاجل التمهيد .

Amazing guide for those looking for motivation and need a little extra push to realize their inner potential. I actually keep this book as an on hand source of daily inspiration. Very good read!

I remember I used to date a boy who, knowing my almost legendary loathing of Coelho, bought me this book as a joke. I honestly can't believe this was published. It doesn't even make sense!

Each time he came over I would greet him with a quote from the book and we would meditate over it for a bit.

- This was another installment of Men&Books in my life. I will write a proper memoir with this theme one day.

A light and simple but insightful manual to become a peaceful warrior of the light

Pero que grandísima pérdida de tiempo.
Reseña del Audiolibro narrado por Gustavo Bonfigli

Historia: 1
Narración: 3

Mi primer libro del autor (después de abandonar El Alquimista hace ya muchos años) y probablemente el último. Me explico: lo escuche únicamente porque está entre los Audiolibros gratis que ha puesto Amazon por motivo de la cuarentena.
Ya escuché varios y decidí darle una oportunidad a éste. Gran error

Para empezar tiene algunos efectos de sonido que son totalmente innecesarios. Bastante molestos, de hecho, pero podría ser tolerable de no ser por todo lo demás.

El libro no es siquiera un libro, literalmente es un manual que consta de un montón de reglas, escritas como lista de supermercado, para convertirte en una persona cool. Y aunque entiendo que el propósito de un libro de superación pueda ser precisamente ese, lo cierto es que no sirve de nada.

No sirve de nada porque Coelho solo escribió una lista larga de metáforas en forma de frases sin siquiera ahondar en ellas. No existe una explicación, no existe una profundización, no existe una aplicación.

El Manual del Guerrero de la Luz es pseudo filosofía de porquería. Y una disculpa si ofendo a alguien, pero es que no me explico cómo éste señor es tan famoso. De verdad no entiendo como alguien puede sentirse atraído por un libro con tan mala estructura.
Si fueran personas de la tercera edad, solas, deprimidas, impotentes y llenas de gatos... no, igual no lo entendería.

La narración es buena. Lo mejor que el narrador podía hacer con tan humillante obra.

Me recordó al meme que dice:
Yo: amigo, mi vida se desmorona, todo va mal y estoy muy triste :(
Mi amigo: no estés triste.
Yo :) Gracias!

It's been so long since I read a book and wept. The words of this book addresses the silent battles of your soul. It is short but every once in a while you'll have to close it and let your soul consume its message -- only then can your soul be ignited making you a warrior of the light.
