The Winner Stands Alone


A new book that will again touch hearts and influence the many. The Winner Stands Alone is a new novel about following one's dreams. What does the society impose one to become and to have? Sometimes we are greatly manipulated by the society realizing in the end after achieving them we asked ourselves: Are we happy? Are we satisfied? Are we whole? This recurrent theme of the book will let us get back to when the world was just plain and ordinary. Achievement is not what people look about us, it is about self-worth and fulfillment.

Can't wait to have my own copy of Paulo Coelho's. The novel, however, is not yet available in the Philippines. (oops! I just grabbed my own copy, 4/20/09, yipee!) Released dates in other countries are as follows:

March: UK and Russia
April: France, Greece, Holland, USA, Hungary, India (in English), South Africa, Lebanon and Middle East
May: Australia, Iran, Bulgaria, Poland and Slovakia

Hi Keith! You'll still wait for a month to read it.. That's a thrill for an avid Paulo reader. Are you taking it on your vacation?

Do you have a blogsite where I can add you? ;)

Sorry, I do not have a blogsite you can visit.

I do have a page on Paulo Coelho that you are very welcome to visit.

The intention was to read The Winner Stands Alone when I go away, but I could not resist the temptation to read a few pages, then a few more pages followed ...

But as of tomorrow, I will have two weeks to sit and relax and read The Winner Stands Alone.
