I started the Hippie blog because I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences with the world. This book has been a long time coming, and it is a pleasure for me to finally be able to share it with you. It has been a long time since I have put my thoughts down on paper and expressed my ideas in writing. I hope I will write until the day I die.First, I would like to say that I am very excited about this new project. What you have to do is learn how to express your soul. I did not become nuts because I went from zero to having a lot of money. It was a very slow process that I started when I was 40, so I had time to adjust. The Alchemist changed everything in my life. Looking back on the 30 years since your best-known book, The Alchemist, was published, how would you say your life has changed? And I say to myself, “Oh my God, this is the greatest blessing in my life, to have found the person who understands me.”
Every time I go to sleep, I look at her and she is already sleeping. Having said that, I have been married for 38 years. And there is Pragma, which is love that goes beyond everything. The two have a complicated love for each other in the novel. The book talks about me being in jail and tortured because the military dictatorship did not understand us. Karla and I were able to journey and willing to put ourselves at risk. I went because experience was the most important thing in life–and it still is. Karla is the woman who asked me to go with her to Nepal. We were two people who were very curious about life and all of the possibilities. What is essential about the story of your main character in Hippie, also named Paulo, and Karla, the woman he travels with? People need to learn how to survive without America being responsible for everything. I hate when people start talking about my country and try to give opinions about how we manage it. And it became difficult to broker a peace between the two.ĭoes President Donald Trump represent the flip side of hippie culture? My generation understood the mind and our desire to journey–but then it came time to support ourselves. But my values are still the same: simplify your life, eat healthy, respect women. Of course, I could not be a hippie today, sitting comfortably here in Geneva.
My generation understood that once a hippie, always a hippie.
