I was vaguely aware of this as (I thought) woo-woo spirituality. I was pleased to discover that it is better than that; in particular I thought it rather good on love and personal relationships, and I can see why people who are uncomfortable with any specific religious tradition like to use it for rites of passage, especially weddings.

It’s interesting that all three of the top 1923 books address death as a fundamental part of what they are doing, though I’ll admit that The Prophet is some distance from Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. The second last chapter is explicitly “On Death”, and in the last chapter the Prophet himself bids farewell to the priestess and departs from the city departs in a heavily laden metaphor.

Gibran is not so sound on social and political issues, where the message of the book is to try and find the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, without much thought to finding the courage to change the things you can, or the wisdom to know the difference. You can’t have everything, I suppose.

But it’s short, and digestible, and nicely illustrated by the author. ( )

I'm sorry that I waited so long to read this and will need to read it again many times. The original illustrations didn't add anything for me so maybe a different edition, also one without so many typographic errors.

A fascinating book, and it is likely to be one of the only books in the self-help genre that will make a lasting impact on me. The Prophet is not preachy and doesn't aim to be. Contrary to what some people might think, I don't feel this book prompts you to believe in a Supreme Power ™ - if you believe in it, Gibran would be happier, of course – but at one point, Gibran states that, at the risk of not paraphrasing – 'better to concentrate on people here rather than the God above'.
There's also an insane number of quotes spread about like diamonds – memorable examples of which include -
I teach you not silence, but rather a song not over-loud.
Not yet have I been caged by wisdom. Too young am I and too verdant to speak of aught but self.
The space between you and your neighbour unbefriended is greater than those between you and your beloved who dwells beyond seven lands and seven seas.
Call nothing ugly, my friend, save the fear of a soul in the presence of its memories.
I also loved that it's so short, and today's self-help books should learn a thing or two about editing from this one. The Prophet, in its essence, is a mishmash of inspirational quotes attributed to a fictional prophet, and it somehow works – and it doesn't look to have aged at all. ( )

Clearly, I didn't quite "get" this book. Essentially it is a book with a very minimalist story line whereby a prophet comments on many life issues i.e. love, happiness, anger, work, etc. etc. Each chapter provides insights on these life topics.

I actually quite like philosophy and have read and struggled with other philosophical texts, but this one just didn't grab ME personally. I didn't feel like I had many "ah ha" moments where I thought the author had this fabulous unique insight that I hadn't ever thought of before.

That being said, the language is lovely and definitely poetic. And there certainly is wisdom contained in the words. But I didn't feel totally compelled by it. I may try re-reading it, as it is blessedly short, just to make sure I didn't just miss something. ( )

Beautifully written (rings Biblical) and had many passages of considerable wisdom. [See binder] Not sure how well it’ll stick with me on the first read alone. Fairly optimistic and I think monadic? In-text drawings were whatever but I love the cover portrait. I recommend this to my friend Zac or anyone really. Short read. ( )

Almustafa, the chosen and the beloved, who was a dawn unto his own day, had waited twelve years in the city of Orphalese for his ship that was to return and bear him back to the isle of his birth.

You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link.
This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link.
To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of the ocean by the frailty of its foam.
And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of desperation.
When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him...
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
