Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Recommended by 51 sources.
“A quick, dreamy fable about a shepherd chasing treasure who finds wisdom instead. The prose is easy, almost childlike, and the story moves through symbolic encounters that each deliver a lesson about listening to your heart. You’ll underline a few lines if you’re open to its message, but the charm fades if you bristle at repeated aphorisms. The main limitation: it can feel like a beautifully wrapped box of motivational quotes—inspiring to some, trite to others.”
