The Prophet

by Kahlil Gibran

1h 27m

First published in 1923, Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet has become one of the best-selling and most-translated books in history — a luminous work of prose poetry that speaks directly to the human soul. Now available as an extraordinary audio experience, this beloved masterpiece offers profound wisdom on every dimension of life with a depth and beauty that can only be fully appreciated when heard aloud.

The Prophet follows Almustafa, a wise and beloved prophet who, as he prepares to depart the city of Orphalese, is asked by the people to share his wisdom on the deepest questions of human existence. What unfolds is a series of twenty-six transcendent discourses — on love, marriage, children, work, joy and sorrow, freedom, prayer, and death — that have moved and transformed readers and listeners for over a century.

The Wisdom You Will Experience:

  • The nature of love — why love both crowns and crucifies us, and why we must surrender to it fully
  • Marriage — the beautiful paradox of two souls who stand together yet remain individually complete
  • Children — why your children are not your children, but life's longing for itself
  • Work — how to pour your soul into everything you do and discover the sacred in the everyday
  • Joy and Sorrow — how the cup that holds your joy is also the cup carved by sorrow
  • Freedom — the paradox that all humans long for liberty yet also seek structure and belonging
  • Death — the prophet's final, luminous meditation on mortality as the ultimate awakening

Gibran's timeless words have been translated into more than one hundred languages and have touched hundreds of millions of lives worldwide. In audio form, the lyrical beauty of The Prophet reaches its fullest expression — a meditation on life's deepest truths that you will return to again and again.

What You'll Learn

The nature of love and why we must surrender to it fully; the paradox of marriage and individual completeness; why children are life's longing for itself, not possessions; how to find the sacred in everyday work; the deep connection between joy and sorrow; the paradox of freedom and belonging; a luminous meditation on death as awakening.
