Deep Or Nonsensical? | The Prophet (Kahlil Gibran) BOOK REVIEW
Manage episode 385268441 series 2936123
It's a fine line between conveying deep insights vs being overly mystical.
'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran is a quick read that maybe shouldn't be quick. It has a simple plot setup of a prophet answering questions to townsfolk he is about to leave and never see again. They ask him to speak on 26 topics and he delivers a short poetic response in reply. At times it does seem to hold a deeper wisdom but some of them seemed overly complicated and obtuse.
Thanks to Ashley Glenday and Juan for supporting the show. And a reminder that you'll now be able to listen in live via a Podcasting 2.0 app!
