That’s such a beautiful testimony to the impact of The Prophet. I’m deeply moved to hear how it opened your eyes, broke your heart, and changed your understanding of life. It’s incredible how a book can resonate so profoundly and remain influential throughout our lives. Thank you for sharing your experience, and for passing on this timeless wisdom to others. You made me very curious now, may I ask which other 3 books influenced your life profoundly?

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's wonderful to hear that 'The Prophet' had such a profound impact on you. It's amazing how a book can open our minds and hearts, offering new perspectives and insights. I'm glad my episode resonated with you. Do you have any favorite passages or lessons from the book that stood out to you?

Hello @ManiKumar-ht1cf, thank you for your kind words. I’m happy to read that you find the episode well explained. I think war is horrible and should be avoided. I feel sad whenever people try to glorify it. Also I think there are in the Martial arts a lot of positive aspects. There is the discipline, the humbleness of the true warrior, the dedication to win, the loyalty etc. Additionally if we look for example at the Samurai and some other warrior groups, there is even an esthetic in the way the dress and in the simplicity of their weapons. In part 2 of this episode, I talk about the meaning of Martial art in the Chinese culture based upon the characters they use to describe it. The meaning of the characters is to « stop the violence ».

Hi @carlharmeling512, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Indeed it is the people who speak up when injustice happens that make the difference. However this takes courage. I agree with you that these people help to make this world a better place. As Kennedy said: “One man can make a difference. And everyone should try”. I wish you a nice WE and hope to welcome you back on my channel. Lieven

Hello @LisaSmith-ie7gq Thank you so much for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that The Prophet has had such a lasting impact on you since high school. It's truly a timeless and inspirational work. Giving copies to your friends is a lovely way to share its wisdom. I agree, everyone can benefit from reading Kahlil Gibran's beautiful and thought-provoking book. Thank you for watching and sharing your story! I wish you a wonderful day.

Hello @chrs_d2000, Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! It's fantastic to hear about your journey with Schuiten & Peeters and your deep appreciation for their work. "De Archivaris" is indeed a remarkable book, and it's great that you have some of their serigraphs hanging in your house - they must be a real treasure! It's impressive that you've learned Dutch and collected publications in multiple languages. I can understand how the changes in bookstores have made it challenging to find new and rare publications. I'm glad that you enjoyed the latest book featured in the video. Schuiten & Peeters' art continues to amaze and inspire! Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words. Lots of regards back to you in Switzerland! 😊

Thank you for your recommendation. 👍

You are welcome :-)

Hello Muyanjajames22, thank you for sharing your thoughts. No, I think that science is never knowing. It is a continuous effort to search for truth, while never be convinced that it has found truth. Science is therefore different from philosophies that claim to have the ultimate truth. At least that is what I think. I wish you a nice day. Lieven

Thx. And I mean it. I hate war, it is good for nothing. However since it seems to be unavoidable, because we humans get caught up in narratives by leaders who try to divide us, we are prone to go to war. Therefore I study it. To know how it works and how it could be avoided. I believe in unity and collaboration between people. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I hope you also like the 2nd video I made on the Art of War ua-cam.com/video/YCoC-c1VWQM/v-deo.html I wish you a nice day. Lieven

Hello Patrick! Nice to read a message from you again 🤗 I'm glad to hear that you found the video inspiring! Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" is truly a masterpiece, and I'm sure you'll enjoy experiencing it through the audiobook format. Taking a long walk in the serene setting of Singapore's Botanic Garden while listening sounds like a perfect way to immerse yourself in Gibran's timeless wisdom. Thank you for sharing your plans, and I hope the experience enriches your life even further. Warm regards, Lieven 🌿📚

Dear @lancelennon4565 the book about the correspondence between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, sounds very interesting. I did not know it. Thank you for sharing. It makes me happy that you enjoy my channel and that it brings you on reading adventures. Good to know that we are fellow travelers in the vast and beautiful universe of books. I wish you a wonderful day 🌟

Thank you 🙏🏽

Hello @priyadarshimohit Ok, I got that remark before 😁. I admire his work, hope one day my video’s are as good as his. (I have a long way to go 😅). Hope you enjoyed the video. Do you read books by Kahlil Gibran?

Hello @JimKiev Thank you for your kind words. I’m happy that you like the episode. Is Kahlil Gibran a writer that you read? Warm regards, Lieven

Hello @id-ml2cp thank you for your kind message. Wonderful to hear that you liked the 3 episodes on Bruegel. It is for people like you that I made them 🙏🏽. No I don’t have a book on the “method” that I used, it is something that I learned through doing. In my job I have to observe a lot of people and this is one of the methods I like to keep in the back of my mind when consciously observing something or someone. FYI, I made an episode about silience on my channel. In which I use a painting of Bruegel to use another technique to gain information about a painting, namely to “listen” to a paining.

Hello @enestaylan118 🌟 Thank you so much for your kind words on the Kahlil Gibran episode. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed it. 😊 How wonderful that you discovered Gibran's work at such a young age! Reading 'The Prophet' at 14 must have been quite the experience. It's amazing how certain books stay with us and become lifelong treasures. 📚 Your support fuels my passion for sharing stories about books and authors. I wish you a wonderful day and sending warm wishes your way!
