The Case of Getting Back to Who I Used To Be

A Synopsis of The Case of Getting back to Who I Used to Be Featuring The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

"You've made a lot of mistakes, and because of that, your position on the board is no longer tenable". Lori felt terrible betrayal and was enraged on hearing these words, and it didn't stop there; a lot of her power was taken from her too.

People had tried to talk to her, but nothing they'd tried to say had gotten through to her, and so they had no choice but to go over her head and basically engineer a power scoop.

But she had to stay in the company. It was her company, and she couldn't walk away. She couldn't walk away because she had brought in all the employees, all the investors; it was her vision. So, every day she had to go work with people who she thought had betrayed her.

Every morning as Lori walked into her office building, a place that had once felt familiar and welcoming now felt cold and lonely. She felt desperately alone, and the pain within that loneliness was so unbearable there were times when she could barely breathe.

Lori's friend, Jenny managed to persuade her to take a few days away from the office, suggesting she visit her family cabin in the woods. The remoteness of the cabin meant there was no connection with the outside world - no internet, no telephone signal. Jenny felt Lori needed the solitude of being away from everyone and everything to help her recovery.

It had actually been several years since Lori had visited the cabin. Reflecting on the last time, which was when she was contemplating dropping out of college, she was reminded of the book she had read, which had helped her then to understand what was going on within herself: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It was a book that had a very special place in her heart. Picking the book off the shelf as she packed her bag, Lori's hope was that it would help her figure out how to get herself back to who she used to be.

The case study explores how Lori could apply the wisdom and the lessons she was taking from the book to the challenging situation she was trying to navigate through.
