Love Is Transforming

Santiago's conversation with the sun about love is a reminder that alchemy is the process of transforming one thing into another. This means that Santiago's Personal Legend will evolve, as will Santiago. He becomes a better version of himself. Santiago meets an Englishman who wants to learn the secret of alchemy, or turning any metal into gold, from a famous alchemist who lives at an oasis on the way to the pyramids. While traveling, Santiago begins listening to the desert and discovering the Soul of the World.
