This was an inspiring video, Lieven. I will turn 70 by the end of this year, and have not read anything by Kahlil Gibran, but now I will. The Prophet is now in my library of audiobooks, and i will listen while taking a long walk the Singapore's Botanic Garden, which is just behind where I live. Thank you for sharing your inspiration. 🙏
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 🌿📚
Thank you for this wonderful video. I first discovered The Prophet when I was in high school many years ago. This is my favorite of his works. I have given copies of this book to my friends. Everyone should read this beautiful and inspirational book.
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.

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.
Your description of The Profit is right on. It explained how life and approach to it opened my eyes, broke my heart, and changed my thinking and understanding. It came into my hands in my early 30s I have shared it with others. At 81 it it still one of four books that had a profound influence on my life.
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?
I read the book The Prophet in my 20's. It opened up my mind and my heart.

I first read Gibran when I was 14, and he has become one of my favorite writers since. This is a wonderful episode about this great man and his favorite work! Well done!
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!
Your voice is like Werner Herzog's. I almost felt he was speaking when the video started!
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?
This is a remarkable episode. It answered the same question I’ve had about the book and Gibran. His writings on Teaching and on Friendship have a new meaning for me. Seek good company, be fortunate to find good mentors. “Your friend is your needs answered. (…) If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.”
Indeed my friend.
You’ve once again moved me to purchase another book! Thank you!
That is nice 😊. Enjoy reading and thank you for following my channel 🙏🏽👍
Thank you for your insight and wisdom!
