The Way Of The Bow  (Paperback, Coelho Paulo)

The Way of the Bow: Tetsuya, a man previously well-known for his enormous skill with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the little boy who comes looking for him are introduced to us in The Archer. Tetsuya demonstrates the principles of a meaningful life and the way of the bow by responding to the boy's many inquiries. The story by Paulo Coelho implies that live without a connection between action and soul cannot be fulfilling and that a life restricted by fear of failure or rejection is not one that is worthwhile. As an alternative, one must take chances, develop courage, and accept the unexpected adventure fate has in store for them.
