In the category of Thinker/Philosopher team Historyectomy selects Khalil Gibran.

My Mom gave me this book ......

a few years ago at Christmas. She told me it was my Dad's favorite book when they were together (they've been divorced for 33 years). With that in mind, I read it and then immediately read it again. Honestly, it was the first piece of philosophical literature that I had ever read that I felt I could apply to my own life, either in experience or in practice. In fact, I need to read it again.

Gibran was a writer and an artist. He was born in present-day Lebanon in 1883 and spent most of his life in the United States. You can read about his life here....
