Kahlil Gibran's 'The Prophet' is a tiny little book with a world of insights in it. A prophet who is leaving a city is asked for advice about various subjects and things by people from all walks of life. The answers that are provided by the book are deeply philosophical, at the same time simple and practical too. I feel that every person in the world should read this book. At a growing age, this book should be introduced to children, and explained, if needed. In its few pages 'The Prophet' gives more insight than what many religious texts give in volumes with hundreds of pages. If I need a check on the principles that I live by, this is the book I would turn to for advice, from now on. 

So small, yet so big!
