Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. However, intention is viewed very differently in this audiobook.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story4 out of 5 stars 97
In an attempt to appeal to the Medici family during the Italian Renaissance, Machiavelli outlines the way to acquire and retain political power, and how great men should behave in a princely government. The book is divided into four parts - types of principalities and state, proper conduct of a prince as military leader, personal conduct of a prince, and the disparity of Italy's political situation. Many listeners will be able to see principals that Machiavelli advocates for are still used in many political systems today.

Publisher's Summary
Seminal poems for moments of mindfulness.
First published in 1923 and never out of print, The Prophet has been translated into over 100 languages and read by millions of people around the world. On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that.
It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home. Even on first listen, his words will seem achingly familiar, having soaked into our collective subconscious:
- Like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link
- Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed
- Let there be spaces in your togetherness
- You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thought
- It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked
This collection makes the perfect bedtime listen or walking companion as you take time out from the world to consider your own truths and experiences, guided by the wise words and gentle hand of Kahlil Gibran.

Beautiful Book!
Beautiful analogies, clear enough to explain things adequately but vague enough to be timeless advice (for the most part). Loved every minute of it!

Just Beautiful
I had read this years ago and loved it. I have often referred to it from memory. How magnificent to sit here and listen, remember and love. Riz Ahmed has a magnificent voice that brought The Prophet alive for me. Joy, Love, Marriage, Work, Giving - the list goes on. This book truly is a gift and we are blest that Kahil Gbran shared with us his words and thoughts. Truly a masterpiece that keeps on giving and continues to give us the opportunity to find true love.

“Have you read…”
This is one of those books people read and then feel the need to tell everyone they’ve read. So I’m writing this review to let the world know I’ve not only read it, but now listened to it too, so I’m extra special and enlightened.
Faux-intellectualism aside, there are some lovely use of language and worthwhile ideas in this book and I enjoyed the audiobook. If you have an hour and a half to spare tick it off your list and be sure to tell everyone you did.
