If you are that sort of person with the ever lasting quest for that "secret" hidden in the Universe...if you cannot just convince yourself everything as "God's doing" and sit back to wait for the fate...this book is a good read. Unlike the name, it does not have anything to do with riches. I would say the book's title is very misleading.
The books helps you in realizing that it is very much normal to be abnormal. There is nothing wrong with you, if you are not able to fit yourself into the society's so called normal life of having a highly paid job, luxurious home and forgotten dreams. You need not be guilty for being a seeker.
The book not just highlights the need to live in the present but also on how to do so. Probably after reading this book, you too will realize 99% of the people around you are time-traveling without even they knowing that they are. The center character Victor in the novel is in search of something not knowing what it is. In a deeper sense, it symbolizes the search within each of us. In this search, he comes across some interesting characters who has one or two lessons for him. Finally he finds the hidden treasure, which is a letter written by a very rich man on secret of success. The real message is not in the letter, but in the plight to find it. Yes, this storyline is quiet similar to many other inspirational books like "The Alchemist". But unlike the shepherd searching for gold, Victor is more real and you will find it easier to relate to his search.
There are some good takeaway messages like "Coincidence is not very coincident" , " Your thoughts are not really yours and they are not you", " No one can put you down unless you allow them to" , " Success does not need to be appreciated by others, there is more joy in silently enjoying it yourself" , "When someone says impossible, it just means they don't know how to do it" and many more.
The book can leave you smiling at yourself when you recognize the universe's signal. It might make you wonder, why you never noticed it before. If you are reading this blog, just go and get a copy and read it. Who knows, this blog might be signal!!!
