2. Issa Rae: The Alchemist
The star of Insecure loves Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, a spiritual novel about transformation that has changed many a life. "I read The Alchemist during a transitional period in my life, and it just made me think differently," said Issa Rae.
The Alchemist is packed with wise observations such as: "We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."
