Creators: Liked The Prophet is a book of 26 poetic essays written in English in 1923 by the Lebanese-American artist, philosopher and writer Khalil Gibran. In the book, the prophet Almustafa who has lived in the foreign city of Orphalese for 12 years is about to board a ship which will carry him home. He is stopped by a group of people, with whom he discusses many issues of life and the human condition. The book is divided into chapters dealing with love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death.
LikedWhen I listened to it, you know, years after reading it for the first time, I was a little bit more positive about it. I thought, "This is, you know, life philosophy. There's definitely things that we can apply to our current times and our own psychological state about being dependable and being honest and being empathetic and caring for the people around us, for those that have less than what we have.
LovedI loved it at the time. Obviously, I gave it five stars. I'm not sure if I'm just not that person anymore and I need to reread this to see if I'm still as much in agreement or astounding wow at the language of the prophet.
What made the match, strongest first
