Making Comparisons

Although Fight Club and The Alchemist are written in totally different styles I find similarities in themes. Both books are about philosophy and how our lives should be lived.

Similarities

• Stop trying to control things, just go with the flow
• Do what you want to do, don't be restricted about what others think of it
• Live in the present, not in the past or future
• Do not be afraid to die
• Believe in yourself and your abilities
