He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book <i>The Prophet</i>, an early example of inspirational fiction that includes a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again in the 1960s. Gibran is the third bestselling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao Tzu.</p><p><b>Neil Douglas-Klotz</b>, PhD, (Saadi Shakur Chishti) is a world-renowned scholar of religious studies, spirituality, and psychology.
